Quoted from robin:I thought about that, but this will only make ratings more attractive to abuse.
I guess my question would be: how would it be any easier to abuse than the last system? Also, maybe I don't understand Karma...but is there a benefit to abusing the system? If I went hog-wild and thumbs-up'd all of somebody's posts, would there be any benefit for them?
Quoted from jarjarisgod:I think it is fine as is Robin. The scoring on the old system was a bit excessive in my opinion. This seems just right.
Possibly true...but at one measly point a piece, I think people may be less likely to use the system. ("Gee...why should I even bother, it's only one point!")
