Problem with feed back and ratings
I decided to try something. I deleted an answer that got a "1" feedback, and it dissappeared, completely, including my feedback. I also answered a question that I had asked myself and gave my answer a 5 rating. It showed up. I also gave that question a 3 rating as moderator and that went through. All of this was over 30 days old, so it won't effect my present rating.
But my point is, can you put in some kind of program (ISP tracking or something) to keep columnists from rating themselves, or erasing negative feedback? If I can do it, anyone can do it to cause a higher rating.

I don't think it's a major problem and here's why:
First, if you get a 1 rating on an answer, I don't think the world will cry if it gets deleted. You may have given some pretty bad advice. If you gave good advice and the rating person was just a butt about it, I guess you don't deserve the rating, so I'm not bad about deleting it there either.
Ratings are not that important and shouldn't be that important. If they are important to you, and you're willing to manipulate yours, you're not going to get a whole lot more out of it. So I don't really see the need for tougher scrutiny.
As for rating your own questions, I don't feel too nervous about that one because there are 20-some other moderators to negate your rating. Your 3 won't matter if everyone else gives it a 1.
