Hi,
Sorry for the delay of the answer, lot of things to do right now.
Anyway.
No, the ball system is not one of my preferred thing in BB. Although, it's better than the "1to5" rating.
To my mind , no system is better than these 2 systems.
I'm not a big fan of evaluation of a credibility of a user in a community. Like IRL then.
Because, I have 70 balls ( I don't know exactly), a newbie mustn't consider me as a key user or an expert, because I still make mistakes and big errors like a rookie user.
I have 70 balls only because I have translated your FAQ in french ( Great job ^^) and not because I'm better than another.
Many League1 users in France have better advices or better knowledge than me, and they have less balls.
I can't define exactly the aim in the game of the "ball rating" but I'm afraid that a newbie consider it as a credibility system, for me it's not a credibility rating.
Why not a ranking from "atrocious" to" legendary" based on a formula with "number of post", "ball posts", "Win/lose ratio", and "team rank" as variables ?
I know it's complicated but i think it's more realistic than the actual system.
