Someone should create a rating for when a post is off-topic but not quite powerleveling. It would be a spectacular idea, I just can't think of a name for the rating.

Wait, I've got it: Aristocrats.

We technically already had an "Off-Topic" rating about a year ago, but that was removed when Null realized that reporting off-topics posts does more good than just giving people stickers of broken chains.
 
It was a joke, friends. Hence the aristocrats.

(there's no way all those posts are reported though. This reminds me of how cell phones paired with cars put a bunch of splash screens in the way to try and prevent people from using their screens when driving but inevitably just have people still use their phones but take more time looking down to unlock it three times)

You've all seen these types of post when people bullshit out the ass about something. I thing a proper "X Doubt" rating would be a good edition to the farms.
 
Unicycle rating for blatant backpedaling,
Trashfire rating for incendiary posts, more general use than fish hook.
Wet rating for posts that require certified plumbers.
 
Random idea, probably not original: each user should get a limited number of "winner" ratings. You gain another use of the rating each time someone rates you a winner.

I guess I mostly want to see how the users here would game/ruin such a thing.
