Who can rate other users (good, okay, or bad)? Anyone? Just donators? Donators and people who've been invited to the forums? If it's one of the latter two groups, maybe new users could be automatically invited to the forums after a certain number of good ratings. Say, a rating of four stars or better after having received at least ten votes would earn a user full forum access.

I guess there's a potential problem if someone changes their vote after a user gains access to the forums. But hopefully someone won't get that many good votes and then turn out to be an asshole after all.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Only donors can rate, mate (it rhymes).

I'm pretty sure that's complete bollocks. I thought anyone could vote regardless.

As someone that was invited before he donated, I can tell you that only donors can rate.

Life is a lot like getting mugged; you get your kicks, you take your punches, and when it's over, someone else gets your cash.

I'll have to update the FAQ this week.

Only donors can rate other users. Only a select few can invite.

There's no technical correlation between ratings and invitations except that it's a handy way for me to get an idea of what the donors are feeling about users. If everyone votes bad on somebody I can know that maybe they're not worth having around.
