From what I have seen over the last 20 years or so, rating systems with a large number of voters seldom, if ever, work well. No matter how sophisticated the algorithm is, everything deteriorates over time. If someone/group doesn't figure out how to game the system, a small group of well-meaning, enthusiastic voters will skew everything. Accounting for strings of very high or very low votes is difficult (is someone really good/bad or are ppl stuffing the ballot box).

The "best" ratings systems seem to be the most simple ones. 1-5 (maybe 1-10) "stars". No rating displayed until x number of votes. Flags raised when lots of 1/max votes.
Edit: Showing number of votes helps a lot.

It might be better to weight the voters.
