I'm guessing it's a joke on soldat names, since there are multiple majors we have a (1) at the end of our names.
However, I feel that a Thread Rating system should be implemented on these forums.

I can say from experience that thread rating systems never get used. Maybe they will for the first couple days or week(s), but after that they're just taking up space
I think its pointless and will do more bad than good. Simply put, the effect a karma system is supposed to have will not happen on these forums because most people know eachother. Karma system is most effective where people dont necesarrily know every other person who is posting, so they will be more likely to be objective if that person makes a good/bad post. This is a pretty small community, so if someone doesnt like someone else, or someone likes someone else, they may just **** eachother without much regard of whether the other persons posts are great/good or bad. However, I feel that a Thread Rating system should be implemented on these forums. This is once again a thing which is possible in SMF. Basically what it does is allow users to rate a thread from 1-5 stars, and then the rating will show up in the general forum where all the threads are listed, somewhere next to the threads name. I think this will encourage people to make more useful threads/posts and stuff like that.
Hey hey, how about we actually use the karma feature first, and see what actually happens. We dont know whats gunna happen until it actually happens......we shouldn't come to any conclusions before it's even shown. If the karma feature turns out to have a problem when it is finally shown, then it would be the time for improvement.
