Global ELO rating for members
http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=19041
"It would be a great incentive to buy the membership, and would probably reduce both alts usage and farming.
The idea:
ALL ranked games of members and non-members count.
ELO will be calculated for every player, regardless of whether he is a member or not.
The ELO score will be available only for the member accounts.
There will be NO tool to see what ELO is a non-member.
Games could include ELO prerequisite which would automatically make the game Member-only.
The dashboard can list the global rankings similar to those of ladders.
Games included in the elo should expire to prevent abuse, but much later than on the ladders.
And expiration should not reduce the games in question to 0 - let the expiration be 6 months but not less than 500 games to keep the rating accurate and prevent exploits like on the ladder.
It would be a great way to see which players are good outside the ladders (as the ladders are isolated to single templates)
And it would make clan ratings much more reliable than points. "

Also, being able to add a rating filter to open seats, would help hugely to ensure some quality of participants. An Elo rating is hard to bullshit.

Not sure about having it for members only, but definitely worth it. I would buy membership for this feature only, for sure. I am a developer specializing in this type of thing, so Fizzer if you need help, I am currently between contracts so have lots of time on my hands. This is the type of thing I really like doing in my profession.
