"lol, pyched is only 4 stars. im better then him"
would be what might happen.
and how would they stop you from voting again?
Most IP's aren't static. so you can't do it by IP.
Or by cookies either, it would have to be an entry into the membership database. Which could bring performace issues into play.
Besides, such a simple system would likely be exploited just for the purpose of ego. You think that Leaderboards were bad? You think that boosting was rampant there? Heh.
Honestly no. If it were possible for the ninjas to simply be members and use their tools anonymously, I would be all for it. The fewer status symbols, the more apparent it is that people are equal. The more we are judged by our actions and statements as opposed to our appearance or other arbitrary guides, the better. IMO.
I know that we ninjas can't go anonymous. That we have to have a higher profile than that. We have to set examples and explain our actions. But the unavoidable separation that brings is a cost that I don't necessarily enjoy. And it IS a cost. It's part of the responsibility and it is not a "perk". The statements and actions of any ninja are there for all to see and are scrutinized by the same community that we are attempting to serve.
It was nice to be able to cut lose, speak out, act up, take time off, and perhaps even play on the edge. Of course I still can do any of those things, but if I do, I am risking more than just my membership. I would be risking and endangering the trust that the community has in us and the trust that Bungie has in the community.
So, the fact that we've got as many members as we do and as few moderators... I think that is wise. By only having two types of members (members and ninja) and as few ninja as possible, it reinforces the fact that we are all members of the same community.
Cookies can be deleted so like you said, that wouldn't work. a submission to the member database would slow down the site and many people have alot ofotehr accounts.
The leader(Cheater)boards were bad. This would be worse. Everyone would get there friends to give them 5 star ratings, just like a car. I wonder if they got a good side impact rating also.
So be anymous you could always have an alternate account that you use to browse bungie and switch to the moderating one when you need it. although, if th other mods didn;t know about it then it might get banned.
Moderators would be 1 star people since they blacklist people. those people would then attempt to get revenge by, give you 1 star. No idea how gratifying that is but ok.
