Set up a system whereby either the Game Masters or players themselves giving ratings to players who post in the forums. It could be a 5-star system or something that would encourage helpful, informative, entertaining, well-written posts and discourage the creation of threads that are essentially trolling, whining, or of the time-wasting "made-you-look" variety. It would also allow casual forum readers to be able to instantly recognize the realtive value of a forums contributor.

my 2 cents

Would boost too much ego for absolutely no reason.

As if we didn't have enough of them.

And you would see the likes of "I have 5* rating (or whatever rating) so obviously I know more about the game than you do"

I had to up my K/D ratio to 1.5 so that my post on Halo Reach could be taken seriously. I farmed Zombie mode and big team battle with a snipe, rockets and nades...

My opinions were the same with 1.2 K/D ratio (which is decent IMO), 1.5 K/D ratio and with 2.35 K/D ratio too... so bleh... I like the idea, but the repercution are not worth the time nor the effort

I'm not a complete fan for rating people, may get stereotypes and more people would support higher-ranking people regardless of what they say than the others. It may also put stress on the high-ranking people.

This would not be good as a pure rating of a threat or comment, but I suggest to have something like a poll: People can vote for a thing if that threat is meant to be votable.

Otherwise it would simply cause too much hating if you get a low rating for your own post/threat.

Coming from a forum that used a rep system, I'm going to say -1. It boosts too much ego and people won't listen to others that have a... "lesser" rating.
