In rating the posts, since if I have a filter set at +2 it will make me miss mechanically all new posts (by default at +1), would there be a way that a post by someone starts of with a score which is a weighed average of their previous scores (to accentuate the best and worst scores weight in the calculation of the average).
Users are not rated, but, sometimes in the future (and in a far far away galaxy), there should be “delegations”, or “proxy”. That means one person can delegate her voice on one issue to another person.
A person to whom is delegated n voices will have its posts automatically voted +n. Thus, highly regarded people will be highly visible in the system.
Trouble is, delegations are difficult to code… :(
