Hi. demerphq, glad you found my sig thought provoking. I loved LEGO blocks as a kid. I love computer programming and problem solving in general now. tye, you mentioned that "For the, unfortunately too common, "fits" of attack downvoting, there is a plan for dealing with that passively that I think covers it well enough. I apologize for not implementing it yet, however." That reminds me of the voting system of another site I go to called "karma." The way that works is that you can't give karma (negative or positive) twice to the same person without giving it to something like 19 other people first (I think they've tweaked that number several times). If you try to give someone karma "too often," it says "you have to spread it around first." This seems like a good idea at first but then you get these loose cabals forming; all you need is 20 people who are common posters and "karma whores." And they just have karma-love-fests with each other. The problem there was with people inflating each others' totals with positive, not too much negativity. One thing that's different about here is that the posts have to be informational and at least of some value--you can't post single word "bump" or "in" nodes or they'll get reaped (probably after being downvoted several times). Is that the passive system you had in mind? Still not sure if it would work here; however, PM's members definitely seem more businesslike than on the abovementioned site. I like computer programming because it's like Legos for the mind.
