Why not grab the users Mac address and IP and award them a badge based on each comment they leave? A disqus like startup can add such a system and the badges would range from extremely positive to extremely negative (hateful useless troll).
- pinksoda 16y agoYou can't see the MAC address of someone who visited your site.
- paul9290 16y agoAh yeah it's been awhile since I took a networking class; more into front end coding these days & start-ups. I guess even the IP address since it's based by router would not be completely effective, especially in large companies. Though it could gather that there a lot of trolls at one company or organization. Thinking of recent Yahoo/Skype debacle and that guy losing his job over trolls.
- PidGin128 16y agoThis is an interesting idea. Perhaps an intermediate site, that you log into with an OpenID, and which then gives you a new OpenID that has some form of ranking/karma system enabled? Or- Just a standardized method to track karma/ranking across disparate sites? Maybe an extension to OpenID, feedback for feedback? The only obstacle I see, is how the information would be conveyed. Without the participation of the hosting site, it would be little more than a static link. Maybe a tangent of Flattr's offerings?
