Just a thought...maybe do away with member ratings and rate messages only. Doing that could allow for an automatic post of the month, we could still have a members choice also for post of the month.
As far as how to rate them I would do a +/-, a good post might be a +7, a bad one might be a -7.
ABE... I would also consider having the votes anonymous, I feel people are less likely to vote down someone who they usually agree with.

I am not sure if I would do a daily thing, but weekly might be good.

Voting option
How about being able to vote on a Post of the month with a + or -....Just a thought.
