Why not " A positive / negative vote " on a user.
Each user can vote + / - against another user .
Each new user can start at 0.0000.
Each group up moves your + / - points a decimal digit. [ stop a newbie killing a Pimp ]
Newbie = + / - 0.0001
Next up = + / - 0.0010
Next up = + / - 0.0100 ... etc
I do not know how many levels you have or what would be fair and
also protective against a Newbie Denial of Service attack.
But you could allow users to gain Get out of Jail / Trouble cards like Monoply.
Magic potions and Newbie Armour might be nice also.
Moderators would also have a final say. Set limits of + /- in a period like
the stock exchange. Auto stops on full frontal character attacks.
Each person would then have their own points and priviledges, alliances will form,
the WBW reality show will launch.
Oh well just another wild idea of goverment by the people for the people.
Thanks Juliet.
