As more of an aside, anyone familiar with perlmonks? They've developed quite
a good system for behavior that's rather similar. Each member gets to vote
on posts (nodes) in terms of how good/bad they are. Rather similar to what
we tried here with the rating system. Differences being that:

1. Each user only has a certain number of votes per day, so you can't go
downvote *everything* by another user.

2. Getting downvoted will occasionally affect the *person's* ranking--
random chance. Also, voting may positively affect a person's ranking (random
chance-- 1 in 4 chance I think?)

The person who posted or the person who is ranking?

3. The higher the *person's* rank, the more votes they get per day.

4. If a post gets downvoted enough, it gets reaped. I'm still not entirely
clear on how that part works, but it's to that effect.

How does this differ from Slashdot ratings (which I admit I have not closely
perused the mechanics of)??? It sounds kind of similar.

One out of 4 Dave's <blank> has a spiffy little sig, I think.

What does the job pay?

Nothing, but you're guaranteed at least a 20% raise each year.

How many grey tiles
would I get?

No, that's how many gray HAIRS would you get...

(...) Yes. If JimmyBob makes a post and JoeLuke votes the post as bad, JimmyBob's rank has a 1/4 chance to go down, and JoeLuke's rank has a 1/4 chance to go up. If JoeLuke votes JimmyBob's post as good, both their ranks have respective 1/4 chances (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Slashdot uses a system called "karma", and it is described in a little detail here (URL) it seems to work pretty well, but it's a fairly complex system - and the hassle involved in implementation may be more trouble than it's worth for a (...)

(...) It's really a rather good idea actually... A good bend on the original proposal, though as usual it's the implimentation that's difficult. As more of an aside, anyone familiar with perlmonks?
