on another forum I'm on they have what they call 'The Reputation System' where by they have a little icon at the bottom of every post that lets you upvote or downvote it. Now you may think well surely thats bad because people will just downvote loads on people the don't like's posts but the rule is you can only have one downvote a day, which seems to work effectively. Also you are limited to 10 upvotes a day so people cant do the opposite and go crazy!
I suppose an addition to this could also be that you can only downvote a post once so that you cant go back to it each day and downvote it because you don't like that paricular user.
I think something like this would be a good addition but to be honest it's not needed for the site.
