Maybe an average? What is it closer to, -1 or +1?

Actually, -124061
As Cybershy pointed out (and as I did), it woudl turn into a popularity contest. Hisher idea of average characters per post is best....IMO

But what about witty posts? I get more out of a one-liner than a crap 400 character post which goes around and around in circles, ending up going about as far as a Soviet rocket, 10 foot up in the air, then it blows up.

I'll overlook the comment about the people who first got into space

And...oh well. You can't have everything. Would you rather have a system where all the spammers rate each other highly and you lowly, or the present system?

I think the system as it stands is fine.

I'll omit a rebuttal regarding Soviet space reliability

And that is probably wise....I always hate humiliating people in forums

Communism was exploited by Stalin, does that make Communism wrong?

How about just letting other posters judge the quality of an individual poster and not have the server analyze posters for us?

Skanky, you cleary haven't read the thread
It would turn into a popularity contest. For example, the spammers would probably rate you -200 for that comment alone.

Not only that, but it wasn't really apropos to the thread title.

Quite! I know who the entertaining posters who keep me posting here are, and I know who the spammers are. There may be some overlap, but there you go.

The question whether CyberShy has seen the "Ctrl V" thread at Eventis is herewith answered in the negative.

The idea sucks, but I support it just for the chance to see that zero in Skanky's profile.

Wouldn't it be easier for OT folk to just post here??

O, wait, that's happening now.

Well, I guess that's an argument for spam in OT to give +1 - less incentive for spammers to go here.

Why, certainly. Head over to the Coffee Shop.

Just looking at this and seriously thinking... especially on the CyberShy javascript.

Once people know that there's such a javascript in place, how easy is it for somebody to simply hit 'reply with quote' and then delete the quote code? Or copy-paste without any quote code whatsoever?
