I think FT's early reputation thing was very different than the modern positive-only vote system. It allowed people to vote something down, which was (as I understand it) the major source of problems with the way it was used.

I've addressed that point previously in this thread. Thoughts?

Below every Yelp review, there are three buttons:
Was this review …?
Useful / Funny / Cool
On FlyerTalk, perhaps one of them could be labeled "Accurate"?
How about some of the following options:
Thanks / Helpful / Accurate / Welcoming / Agree
