The ranking system on SO gives people incentives to vote down, to keep new
people from entering the platform.

I don't think it helps s community to have "ranks", it puts to much emphasis on
past interactions of members.
I see the value of a evaluation system: to reward users.
But there are better metrics, like how many people did you help this week.
