Moderators (i.e. me, Cesar, etc) have the ability to "award" posts to users who are particularly helpful and deserve a higher rating. We are also on the lookout for people who might serve as community moderators, MVPs, etc.
However, this is just the system we have under our beta site. I've heard requests from users who want to see the join date of a given user to help determine whether they're a troll. Community level could in theory do that, but not today with 76 being the threshhold for the next level.
Also, pure numbers isn't necessarily all that useful, if every post is "i need hlp wit my zoon - its broke" (or some variation, preferably in all-caps and size 6 red text). So if we were to imagine a rating system that actually helped users, what might that look like?
