Tim,
I have split this to a new topic as I think it would be really good to get some discussion going about this. What do others think?
(Possibly being a Brit) I am even a bit reluctant to use grading systems, but I am sure others must have had some interesting experiences of visible 'roles' and reputation. I had my fingers burned on eBay last year when I was foolish enough to give negative feedback to someone who failed to complete a transaction. This was definitely learning by experience .
Thinking about what Tim said about Moodle Partners, rather than rnaking them, it might just be useful to be able to see from the post that someone was a partner, and maybe even a Particulalrly Helpful Moodler.
So, what experiences have you had that might be relevant to Moodle?

Dr Bhatia asks a good question. It depends on what you want but it may be worth considering using Moodle from a USB stick, but this has not been easy for some people see here.
I have only ever used it from a server myself .

I had a quick look at ProZ, specifically KudoZ
If you (or anyone else) have participated in such a reward/reputation system, I'd be really interested to hear about it.

Thanks. I am learning more about how Moodle works everyday.
I have another question though. Would a Moodle.org user logging in as guest to Moodle Lounge, appear with their icon in Online users , but when I click their name, get 'Details of this user are not available to you'?

How does this relate to Open to Google?  Is your action equivalent to turning off Open to Google?
