Scoring system
Just some user feedback, I'm not a fan of the new scoring system. It seems like a great idea at first, but I have seen on other forums this type of function being wildly misused. Soon the scoring system will become a joke between users and of no real value in evaluating a user's advice. It is all too easy for one person with extra time to search past posts and drop a particular user's score to zero without even reading the posts.
Scoring systems like this I have seen become only popularity contests and users who are not well liked by only a few posters end up with very low scores regaurdless of how usefull their advice may be. (Think moderators and administrators)

Mine is -23 because I deserve that LOL 
The scoring system is in beta and we'll see how it goes and if it doesn't work great we can all have some fun with it. I can also adjust the system, change algorithms, etc to knock out anomolous ratings (i.e. users who give out too many ratings to one person, more points for unique users rating a certain post, etc).
