Yes, that's a point I hadn't thought of. Hmm. Since having the off-topic
score is really important to this whole concept, it might have to be kept
seperately for each group the message was posted in. Yuck. (But that's also
a problem with the current system.)

Oh, I think that's exactly how it'll work out. Additional points:
- having to put less thought into weighing exactly how much each message
is "worth" makes the process less tedious, and therefore something more
people are more likely to do.
- with the current system a there's not much of a way to tell the
difference between a message two people liked a lot and one 100 people
liked a little bit.
- I actually think that a large number of people wouldn't make use of the
scale anyway. Since scoring articles means going out of my way, I only
bother to do it if I think it's something people _really_ should see and
I rate it 100.
