No, I think he means: create a place where the most positive-feedback messages of the day/week/time unit are displayed, so that people don't have to read all the letters and check each scoring individually, but find all the 'popular' messages (...)

That's what the sqrt() function is for -- to dampen by applying a nonlinear but still monotonically increasing function to the divisor. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) The only reason I read Slashdot is because of the article scoring. Not a bad system, that. But I'm enough of a narcissist that I'd be prone to artificially boost the score on my own messages. And I suspect I'm not alone. (You know who you are. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
