Besides I'm 99.9% sure it's unwanted by the community, there are also the following issues:

1. It will be used as a harassment tool. They tried this in the initial stadium of Hubzilla and it was immediately used to attack people. It was removed, I don't know if it ever came back in another form.

2. It creates a popularity contest. Something that is unwanted by the community from the beginning. Giving a little bit of acknowledgement or popularity with boosts, favorites and amount of followers is IMO the maximum.

3. Mainstream content will eventually prevail. Radical and controversial content will eventually bleed dead. Yes there is problematic content, but the current moderation system is good enough to handle that.

By "Content ratings", are we referring to something like ESRB ratings, delimiting whether the acocunt's content is primarily child-friendly or not? If not, like the unhinged comments at #11794 (comment) and #11794 (comment), does #11794 (comment) instead refer to a karma rating for the account, like Reddit provides?

I support both, but I'd like the clarification regardless. This is why issue reports should contain at least some information.
