If you recall the below post, then you should have nothing to worry about. Hypothetically, lets say Brenda has something against you for calling her "crabby"....... Her ratings against you will hold very little weight because Brenda can only rate you once.
(I remind you this is my interpretation of the below post... If I'm wrong.. please let me know  )

Another Ratings Clarification...

The way the system CURRENTLY stands, you are rating the post and indirectly rating the poster. HOWEVER, each person only gets one rating per post (which they can change) and can only contribute a single score, overall, to another user.
What does this mean? If you don't like someone and you vindictively go back to rate a bunch of their posts as negative, it will have no more impact than rating a SINGLE one of their posts as negative. Your ratings will be averaged to form an overall opinion of the person's contribution to the board.
Next, on the positive (or green) side of things... If people were not self-interested and not interested in attacking those with whom they don't get along, they would double-back to rate as positive those posts that are most often referred to (e.g. the getting started post, debt collection posts, etc.).
After doing so, we could have a page that displays the most frequently rated, positive posts. This page - the "green" page - in theory, would serve to answer most questions that "green" signing agents ask that others complain about. Of course, rather than recognizing this potential, people are preoccupied with their popularity and peer perception, which I should have better anticipated.
I will compile the survey/poll results late tomorrow to see which direction most people would like to go.
