btw I also agree that pure PageRank on the endorsement links might benefit from tweaking, although some of the common failure cases for PR on the web don't apply here - you can't generate piles of extra humans to endorse-link to yourself.

However you can convince or bribe humans to give you an extra rating. Ever were in a "democracy" of today? The winners have money and/or backing.

Any rating thst isn't bribe proof or mutual ranking proof will get instantly gamed and you end up in a neofeudalism.
