Clearly, this would apply to the POSTING not reading abilities.
AND, we would necessarily start out with "adult" posting abilities.
What needs development:
1: After some time, if my posts irritate you (or yours me) then we post
to the centos-moderator@xxxxxxxxxx address (currently non-existent),
with a message subject of KARMA PLUS or KARMA MINUS and a message body
of a name;
2: said name has their Karma adjusted accordingly.
3: At some configurable threshold of negative Karma, my (or your)
posting rights turn off and we become a moderated poster.
4: If there is no moderator, we're made mute.
5: Every week, the negative Karma scores have +1 added; making the
moderated status temporary.
6: No poster can adjust the karma of another poster more than once per
week.
It ain't a perfect specification, but it'd be an improvement on what we
have.
Insert spiffy .sig here:
Life is complex: it has both real and imaginary parts.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
