makeing the grade

I was wondering if it was possible to implement a quality check for posters, so we can grade individual people by their post types.
Thus, 90% of the time, we could eliminate some of the spam posts w/o alot of excess moding.
With a filter set up, we could decide if we want to see them all, or if we really only want to see the ones that make sense.

Not sure if it should be a private check or if the opinions of the server at whole should be used. Server at whole would provide a much greater level of quality control, but at the same time.. These same 'I eat bread!' people could endlessly rate the good stuff low and their stuff high just to be annoying.

It gets really hard at times, especally for newer people like myself, to wade through 3 pages of endless garbage posts of "Eggs are good!' to finally find out something we needed.
 
Problem with this idea is that, while it sounds great on paper, it has the potential for abuse. Favoritism is the very first thing that comes to mind.
 
This is implemented on some boards via a "karma" system. You generally don't find it on good boards for a reason, though.
