This could be customizable somehow.

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

I've done it before -- I will look it up, though I'm not sure if it will plug right into your code.

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?

True it wouldn't be fair if it was an election (and I agree with you in principle), but then you don't have as much voting fraud (hopefully) in a real election. On a forum, certain user's opinions do count more IMHO. If votes couldn't be weighted differently, how about only allowing certain usergroups to vote (or is that already possible?). That way you can keep your newbies from voting (but still allow them to be rated). I'm concerned about people registering multiple accounts just to vote for themselves. If the newbie usergroup wasn't allowed to vote, that would probably prevent it.

Thanks
