I have always thought that any community scoring system should allow other users to mark up/down other reviewers w.r.t the scores presented. That markup should only affect the scoring as presented to the person doing the markup, like a personal killfile. The idea is that you can have the ratings you see affected by notions that "I trust the opinions of user A" or "I find user B's opinion criteria not useful for my criteria".
That sounds to me like the basis of a distributed trust network, and could be useful.
Why distributed? This sounded more like a centralized system, but one where you can "ignore reviews from this user" for any other user. ChrisA
