Short additional info: You never rate users directly but only check how much 
their votes correspond with yours. 

If they correspond positively (they vote up what you vote up) you use their 
votes for judging messages. If they correspond negatively (they voted up 
spam), you use their votes inversed. 

The developers showed that, if you can keep people from creating new accounts 
to quickly, this system makes it impossible to promote more than a few spam 
messages as good, and if multiple spammers try to promote different spam, they 
cancel out, since they have to vote honestly on so many good messages that 
their spam disappears. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
