If we change the rating system to a self-rating version of the same, I'd like to see the board retain the # of posts and registered on date information at the bottom of each person's post. I know on boards that I'm not as familiar with, I use that information to understand how much to trust a particular person's comment and I would imagine others do the same here.

I would, though, suggest that you give a drop down list of options rather than let everyone write in their own. Otherwise, I'll just write in that Laura and I have finally been doing this long enough that our original cynicism has been justified with enough bad experience.
