Your forums are nothing like this because you are all countrymen, and not very many people. It appears to work there because you guys actually have a certain degree of respect for one another.
So by your logic it only works on a small game, with people who have respect for one another only ?
Guess you never played or heard of a game called league of legends(Example because biggest community in the world, among tons of other games with millions of users) who adopt this same system who have the biggest gaming community in the world, were in 99% of topics people hate each other, yet trolling is detoured from swift banning.
Such things would never work in salem, because it would cripple is small player base. I will explain why.
Having such a feature would mean new rules, new rules would be broken endlessly by trolls as dallane mentioned, then more players will be banned for breaking thus rules and making the community even smaller.
I do fully support such a system, it can work in huge communities because it already does, however, such a system causes the trolls / toxic players to be banned from breaking the rules which follow such a rating system, and considering this game only seems to attract trolls and mostly toxic players, well as i said, due to the nature of trolls and toxic players, such a system would cripple this game over night after the trolls could not resist but abuse this system, and many bans would happen.
