What it does: A hack that gives users chances to re-rate other members.
Curretly, once you rate someone, you can't rate him again.
But sometimes you want to rate him again. Because as you get to know the user, your evaluation often starts to change.
the hack gives another chances to rate other users in a given period of time. Admin can set the time interval. (e.g. users can re-rate each other every 3weeks, 1month, or whatever the interval admin chooses.)
The rate should be cumulative, which means the rate does not reset every, say, 3weeks. It's just gives a chance to rate users again.

The rating system stores the ratings in such a way that re-rating is impossible.

Nothing is "impossible", difficult and even beyond reason but not impossible...kinda like getting UBB to run with MySQL...
It's been done.

No, you don't seem to understand what I mean when I say impossible...
When you rate a member, you change the member's score, and YOUR datafile includes that rating... but the end user's file only maintains the running score and the number of votes.
Because of the way the ratings are weighted, in order for your vote to be changed, each and every vote on that user would then need to be recalculated. There's no one place where all the ratings are stored for one particular user. You'd have to go through each and every individual member's voting record....
And even then, the recalc would be wrong because it would be based on the other member's weights from their CURRENT rating rather than the rating they had originally.
Now, as I was saying - this is impossible. You'd have to rewrite the entire rating system.
