<p>it was <a href="http://violinist.com%5B/url%5D">http://violinist.com</a> not really a similar site, but it was based on the quality of recommendations that merits or demerits were awarded... thus, the only people able to give out stars or x's were people who had already proven themselves able to give sound advice</p>
<p>Or, CC could migrate to the infamous (open source) Slashcode moderation system of [url="<a href="http://www.slashdot.org%22%5DSlashdot%5B/url">www.slashdot.org"]Slashdot[/url</a>].</p>

That's the point! You wouldn't need to rate every post by every Tom, Dick and Harry, just the ones that you find exceptionally useful. Over time, a person's ratings will build up. It is not a popularity contest, because no one is put down for posting a useless comment. It only helps highlight people who's comments have been particularly useful and helpful to several students over time. I don't see how that would be a "game" or how it would "steal all our free time" or even how it would "have none of us get into any colleges better than Bob Jones University". If anything, it would be helpful for students!?</p>
<p>right, it would lend credibility to the posters who actually take the time to provide insight on another</p>
