I don't think I've *ever* seen a good rating system. It's either unfair and people bitch or too fair and people still bitch. There's no in between.
Like with your 500+ posts rule, what about the members who just aren't really vocal and maybe make a post or two a day if that? They could be at 300 posts but been a member long than you. They contribute but they just don't feel the need to post about ever little thing.
And then what about people making nothing posts just to boost their post count so they can vote? They can still stick within all the guidelines and still be incredibly annoying.
No, there's just no good way to rate threads or posts. People will always bitch and it will always turn out badly.
