You could install it in your test forum so that there are more beta-testers

IDEA 1: I've modified some ratings systems (like for photos) so that, for example, if there are more than 3 votes the lowest scored vote gets dropped (or the highest, etc). Or the lowest score gets a boost of one point. So if you have a user with 25 votes and 4.99 score (because of one bad vote) they rank higher than a user with 2 votes at 5.0. This could be customizable somehow.

Very nice, but can you think of an algorithm for that?

IDEA 2: The effects/weight of a karma vote could be modified by the voting member's stats in some way (like number of posts, registration date, their karma, etc). This would be a little more like the rep system, but not really because it is always an average with one vote per person. This would be a big change but would be a lot more accurate of "true karma."

Nah, I don't agree with this. It's not fair. For instance, how would you feel if in the elections your vote counted less than the president's?

QUICK QUESTION: Are the stats only visible to admins? If they are visible to everyone, it would be nice to be able to turn some sections on/off (though I probably could do this with template changes if you used templates for the display of stats).

There are usergroup permissions for the stats. However strangely enough they don't work all the time :ermm: After some tries though the permissions gets stored at last (one of the known issues)
