Could work, but it might just turn into a popularity contest....i.e., a popular person gets a grievance filed against him/her. He/she is pissed, gripes about it, and all of his/her friends start piping in about what a great person he/she is.
I think it makes more sense to fix the grievence system to begin with, rather than just to slap a patch on it. The thing I have the biggest problem with is the public nature of unsubstantiated grievances. Maybe they do need to be public, else why have them, but it looks like anyone can complain about just about anything and it still shows as a negative, scarlet, number, next to your name. I think that there should be some substantial, verifiable, infraction, before you're branded.
I still like the idea of the old ignore list, (a private alternative), for minor, non-verifiable grievances, and perhaps a more formalized grivance procedure for more substantial issues. I think befor someone puts a negative number next to your name for everyone to see, that there should be some kind of due process, or at least some investigation, and judgment, by a neutral party.
Which reminds me, a while back we were told that we might eventually get a chance to vote on whether we wanted the old ignore list back. What d'ya think?
