Chris - What about a form of this ONLY for webmaster sites where each member is reviewed. Users don't get to send their weight to random sites. Their weight is automatically given back to their webmaster-related site. It however could be spread among sub pages (articles).
If you started it, people would respect it at first. Code placement would not allowed to be buried in the footer or hidden anywhere.
It may not make you much money, but it would promote your growing web publishing network (i say network because you recently mentioned creating a webmaster directory).
