- yters 19y agoSounds like a karma singularity.
- marcus 19y agoThe solution is to have a karma cost for voting on a submission/comment that isn't upvoted enough (for example doesn't make the 40th percentile) or to finally add downmod for submissions and make you pay for supporting something the community rejects.
- tel 19y agoI see this as being a pretty good way of doing this, too. Uncertain stories, stories with little Karma, are riskier business and are therefore more expensive to support, but if they're good stories the payoff can be lucrative when large parts of the community agree.
- tim2 19y agoJust make the points awarded the average number of points per 100 items gained through tel's system. Better? I'd still have trouble seeing a good way to combine commenting, submitting, and voting ability scores into one number though. I might leave them as separate scores. The current system is just as vulnerable to robots that submit everything from good rss feeds.
