I voted "OK", mainly because I don't agree with your implementation. I would rather have a rating scale listed and not have any threads moved. That is if we were going to implement any ranking system whatsoever. If it were implemented like <b>that</b>, I think it would be a cool idea - one could sort threads by rank, etc.

As far as voting multiple times - No. The ability to go back and change your vote, yes. We'd need to come up with some system of determining the "rank" - say it was out of 5, with 5 being the highest. Do we want just an average? Do we want to throw away the extremes, if there are any, and then vote? Should there be some other formula applied to the votes to determine its "rank"?

Anyway. I don't really agree with the way you're wanting to do it, but I definitely think it a) could be done and b) could serve a real value, especially for new people coming in.
