I like the idea. But it would be hard to find a balance. Anyone got any suggestions?

I think the rep idea isn't really that bad. It would be a nice counter to trolls without completely over-doing it because the more recognized site members are a lot less likely to just troll a build for no reason. But then again, it isn't that hard for someone to have a friend or two boost their rep daily until they can just troll even harder.
You, you, and you: Panic. The rest of you, come with me.
I like spaghetti -1, if a number of people dont like that comment it will have no impact because it's not against the rules. Rep doesnt always make the person experianced either. Vet's already give loads of guides a boost. what if someone done very well and created an account just to thankyou and +1 you're guide and it had almost no effect, i've had more created accouts +1 then -1ing it thinking about it (when somone +1's and that being there first or 2nd post)

I don't think it would be balanced at all.
What I'd really like is to make people post when downvoting, even if anonymous. I could care less who downvotes, I'm way more interested in the reason for doing it. I got 6 downvotes in my build, if all 6 of them are trolls then I don't really mind, because it's working for everyone till now. But if some of them are not trolls at all and don't find my build useful I'd like to know why or at least give them some tips in order to preform better.
A troll would have no problem voting down and just saying "." anonymously, so it won't really prevent them form posting.
IMHO the system is fine now, the only problem is that there are lots of guides who have reaaaaaaally high rating and votes thanks to the C2V and will most likely stay at the top forever since troll votes won't affect them that much.

How about votes are weighed like this:
Vote happens.
Rep takes a small factor.
People vote on said vote.
If disagreeing on "good" vote or "bad" vote, then time since joining along with post count, weighs in.
Sound more reasonable?

Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.
You need to log in before commenting.
Also I think we should be able to vote on people's comment to determine either they're helpful or not and hopefully being able to counter a trolling down voter =)
