Discuss how a Mafia rating page should work.
This is just a sample with a couple mods as examples. The intent would be to do it with all players after every game.

it would need criteria. are we rating on their skill? their gameplay style? if there isnt a specific definition for what we are rating, its going to be very subjective. for example, if someone makes a stupid mistake, they might get a rating of a 1, which in turn could prohibit them from playing in games (or at least restrict it since if they cant play in games, how do they get their rating up to play again?)

We can build a quantitative rating based on game events.
I cant tell if that was a serious suggestion or a lulz one lol

Does possessing a nice rack automatically add 5 points to your player rating?
Yes.
Your other questions, not so easy to answer.
Really I'm not sure this rating system will do much to help. We already have a very good idea of who the more active participants are and who barely participates at all. We discuss it pretty much every game. Also if Rafay was gonna change his style from shaming he would've already. I think the more effective approaches will be raising the required post count a bit more and the community policing itself.
The ratings might cause some drama/conflict too, potentially.
All that being said. *shrugs* Maybe it'll help a bit. At the very least it'll be kind of interesting to see what everyone gets rated.
This wouldn't be a problem if certain...... people.... would pull finger and stop being deliberately inactive. Why don't we just have a system where mods choose to block people from playing based on their own perceptions of inactivity?

Kevin and I (the two most active mods) have agreed that it is not our intention to exclude anyone from playing in our games. We want to encourage everyone to play, old and new players alike because mafia is a lot of fun. However, the amount of enjoyment that any one person gets out of it is directly attributable to the amount of participation they have in my opinion. This is one reason why I will never understand why some people are happy only posting once every seven days.
Minimum required post counts should be the baseline in my opinion for allowing people to play in our games. It is something tangible and forces people to at least do something other than lurking for entire game days.
I think that a rating system for players would be a nice second step. No matter how we set up this system it is going to be subjective in some form. I don't necessarily agree with the exact examples that Kevin listed above for points (but I think he was joking anyway) but I do think that we could have some general requirements that we expect from everyone in every game and can rate them on after the fact. Things like:
These are things that would avoid the "popularity contest" factor because they can be measurable even though there is still some degree of subjectivity involved. All voting can be done anonymously as well.
My thought would be to assign a number rating system to the above categories, add together the scores from each category, and give each player an overall game score. Maybe we could simply expect that an individual's overall game score would need to meet X% (maybe something like 50% or 67%) of the overall possible score to be considered for further games.

from our leaders to yours.
First of all it's great you're coming up with the ideas. You clearly care and want to have enjoyable games .
That being said, I'm not sure what would be the purpose of this certain idea. Let's say we made it, people have voted / or stats have been gathered and now we're sitting with the list:
Player A - 84 points,
Player B - 77,
Player C - 67...
What can be done with such list? How can we use it?
Some of the criteria TW mentions may be a problem for decent players who choose certain valid strategies ie. to not vote very often because that is their game strategy, but participate actively aside from that, or to people who are vanilla town or nymphomaniacs, etc. That is a concern.
This is why scores would be aggregated based off of numerous categories and not one subjective vote. One score would not affect a particular player's overall game score too negatively/positively because they would be given an overall score. So if your strategy for whatever reason is not to vote very often, that's fine, but you better make sure you are "active" in other ways. If a person has several poor scores in various categories.. well that is why this idea is being discussed -- to address the issues of people not actively participating.
An interesting Idea. I don't know if it will work as intended though. Or side affects.
