And to confirm, it's more than "only one or two", I'd say almost 5-10 offenders.
And of those ten, I'm willing to wager $10 that I know at least one of them.

Or the "Can't rate or be rated for one week" rule someone suggested.
i don't think that's as effective, what if they're not very active in that first week and only make a couple posts?there needs to be a reasonable amount of evidence to rate their behaviour

Like what esg said, I think users with <5 posts should have their rating locked to 0 or have negative ratings blocked.

This. In my opinion, if your in the green, your fine, in the red, change the way you post. Nuff said

is there a way for members to be stuck on 0 or have a "neutral" rating until they've made 10 posts or so?
basically, disabling members with <10 posts to be rated?

I think that's a good idea actually.
It'd also prevent people from making tons of accounts to +5 themselves and -5 others
(although it could also just cause people to spam 10 posts)

I think it will encourage members to think about the way they post first. they will take their time to get to the first 10

I'm willing to bet my 2 cents that I was the one.

And I WILL -5 people who BS their way to 10 posts - it is a chance to make a first impression, and, to me, such people want to get high rating numbers for ego instead of actually making a worthwhile contribution.

So yeah, I don't really give a crap about ratings. Like people said before, they only matter when they're in the negatives.

Well, we *could* always go with just badges, and leave the ratings behind-the-scenes to calculate them

I've never paid attention to the badges, it'd mean no -100 point bans because bans are all done manually.
Alternatively, if ratings do get hidden, I think Member should be automatically renamed to Noob.

Dear Al,
Solution 1:
Remove Ratings
Solution 2:
Hide ratings, but have them appear on hovering over the badges.
Solution 3: BEST VALUE!!
Solution 2, plus:
Change Ban rating to -150, and make it so that for someone's rating to be displayed as negative, they must have:
Five posts, AND a total rating of -50. If the rating is between -50 and 0, "New User" is displayed, unless the member has over 10 posts. This would solve this issue:
y/n?
Love,

Those who give -5s off the bat for something minor ruin it for everyone else.
In addition, it might be useful if a new member with less than 5 posts could not receive OR give ratings below -2.y/n?

Solution 1 is a no.
Solution 2 is probably a no too.
Solution 2+ wouldn't work well if a member's first 5-10 posts are all flaming other members or posting really offensive images to the forums.
When I see people giving -5s off the bat, I tend to remove the ratings anyway.

i don't think so. no one is going to be in a rush "to get rated". it's not exactly a privilege or anything. and if it looks like they spammed those 10 posts then someone will rate them for that appropriately.
I think it will encourage members to think about the way they post first. they will take their time to get to the first 10
That still doesn't keep people for doing so just to have a higher rating. They won't care if the separate account gets a bad rating, if it's banned, they'll continue to make new ones.

And al2k4 will continue to ban the new account irregardless of rating and IP ban the offender.

True, IP ban would work.
I honestly think the 10 post idea is really good.
