    No, except that votes are weighted it's completely different. My suggestion doesn't differ been good and bad users, the votes of all users are worth the same. Why should the vote of one user be more worth than the vote of someone else? What would you think as a new user?

    With the suggested time base rating you would not have to track the history of users or calculate a reputation value, which is IMHO against the privacy idea. It would also limit potential misuse/manipulation automatically - in my example, every user would have a variable number of votes with a maximum weight of 1.0 per hour. The votes of users who actually read a post, follow a link, take the time to think about it... are automatically rated higher than the votes of users who just do one vote after the other.

    What if you realize it this way: You can vote as often as you like. It's only tracked when your last vote was. In dependence of the time of your last vote, your current vote is worth more or less....

    What if you realize it this way:

    1. You can vote as often as you like.
    2. It's only tracked when your last vote was.
    3. In dependence of the time of your last vote, your current vote is worth more or less. So a new vote within a very short time period isn't worth anything, but a vote after 5 minutes, one hour... is worth more and more.

    This would require that votes are not only counted but have a value, let's say between 0 (last vote less than 1 minute ago) and 1 (last vote at least 1hour ago). In the interface I'd show a rounded value.

    Hi, I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :) That's a bad first impression for users...

    Hi,

    I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :)

    That's a bad first impression for users and should be avoided.
