So basically what you said here, is that every message gets one vote from the
system as a softner - and that the vote is always zero.

Ya, except that the one vote from the system will probably be implicit (rather
than explicit), and applied only on-the-fly while calculating the final rating,
otherwise every article would show with a score of zero and one mysterious
vote.

In other words, the "one vote from the system of zero" is only conceptual --
it produces a needed counter-behavior in the voting, but it doesn't literally
and mechanically need to be carried out...just mathematically carried out.

(...) And it at least as much sense to have an implicit 'indifferent' vote from the system as it does to have a special rule for the case of zero votes. Steve (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
