(...) I'm not saying that all of the community should be allowed to vote. However, I'd like to point out that you are now assuming that only members have donated to LUGNET. I know that is quite wrong; I'm not, and I have. ;) Scott A (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) Far worse than that-- "members who vote". Most members don't bother. The highest rated thread I've ever seen got all of, what? 20-something votes? Highest I can find on a cursory search is: 22 spotlights, 3 highlights: (URL) spotlights, 0 (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Yes. You need to put some skin in the game, somewhere. Sure, you could allow "registered" users to downlight, but personally, I'd leave it to members, people who care enough to put the smallest of donations in. Calum (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) You assume that the membership is representative of the community.(?) (...) You forget that this is the friendliest place on the internet! ;) (...) Hmm. Perhaps Kerry should be "eliminated forever". ;) Scott A (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) I just wanted to pick this out as a really interesting idea. Something like when I go to Amazon and it says "you've bought this, so maybe you'd like this related item", Lugnet could say, "you seem to post in .castle a lot, here's the latest (...)

(...) True but it seems that (although I admit I have little experience with collaborative filtering systems) revenge and retribution would be much easier to pull off. For example, I dislike someone so in revenge I get 20 of my friends to downcheck (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) That defies the purpose, Tim. That's still saying an admin, a person chosen for ambiguous reasons, should have power. Those reasons could be for being a loudmouth, for being the guy who happened to be there, the guy who other admins felt was (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) That's okay--say the community isn't enlightened about certain topics. If they unvote "important" topics, it can't be that "important" as a result. What that really says is, we're gonna institute a mechanized form of mob rule. If it's gonna be (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
