I can also easily see that such a system would be abused. If post count were the meter to "judge" oneself against others, I can see that forum rank would be used (just as much as Halo 2 rank) as a reply to someone who a member disagreed with.
Statements as "STFU, you're only a grunt and I am a spartan and we all know that grunts don't know crap about anything!" would abound.
Well to be honest, i use join date in a similar way, i usually discount any information that has come from anyone who has been a member of the forums for less than a month or two, unless it comes from a reliable source. I feel completely obliged to do so, as most people who join this forum, stay for a week, make maybe 10 or 11 topics that we've all seen thousands of before, usually involving the acronym OMGWTFBBQLOL.
I look forward to a karma system, as even though it would require ranks, if you abuse your position as a higher ranking member, you will obviously get bad karma and lose that rank.
