Since there is no method to certainly know what BTC address belongs to who and anyone can easily query addresses in the blockchain, I was thinking of how much a rating system would be a good idea. I was thinking of a DB where you could register BTC addresses and then the community could appreciate them by voting. So, registered BTC addresses would have a kind of reputation.
How good this idea you think is? Or we have a system like this already?

No it's not a good idea, because every one could create a new address and start again without worries. A rating system could help people to trust a site/service (for example this address https://blockchain.info/it/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX belong to Satoshi Nakamoto...) but that's it. Info about addresses are already staked in internet and you can now if there is a link with an user,and even you can't know if a new address could lead to a scam or not
