Re: Ideally, a (+) for a very good message, a (-) for a very bad message
and I don't want no mutual admiration society either.
What I like is the idea of a link so that hitting a POTM button displays POTM and makes an automatic posts and who did it (with an option to make a short comment).

Re: Message rating
... your member rating is going to remain right where it is forever!
Not quite, as it can still go up until you reach the 10 max. Roxrkool is at 9.9 for now.

Re: Ideally, a (+) for a very good message, a (-) for a very bad message
The most recent change I had made, was to limit the effective window to 30 days rather than the original 90 days. Now, all the (-) are no longer in the window. I was under the vague impression that the member rating system would work somehow, even with only (+) votes. Such does not seem to be the case.
One of the problems with using either +/- or just + ratings is that it isn't compared to the whole number of posts with neither rating.
If you want just + ratings then the member rating could be
(number of + rated posts / total posts) in last 30 days
either as a percentage (%) or per mille (‰.)

That's a big phallacy.
