The reader rates the authors 1 to 5 for various reasons. It would be nice if those reasons were legitimate but a good portion of the time they are not. I have one jackass that constantly tells me my stories don't belong in LW so he rates every one of my stories with a 1.
How about if the authors could rate the readers...
Based on their critiques, the writer could click on the comment and rate it 1 to 5. As the votes add up, that person's vote would carry the weight associated with his score. In other words, the vote of a complete jackass who would get a score, of say, 1.5 would have almost no bearing on the story he is voting on; whereby, the vote of someone who gives thoughtful and insightful comments and has a score of 4.8 would carry much more weight.
I know this is probably impossible, I just thought it was a novel idea...
