Well, this is true but it's at least an arm's length arbitrary. Of sorts.

This seems like a snitch program.

And cronyism. If there was a random algorithm that assigned

CrackerJack

It is completely random

El Jefe

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

CrackerJack

I edited the message to make that more clear

El Jefe

I thought it was a completely arbitrary selection.

CrackerJack

Random is kind of arbitrary, right?

How is it random? Are you randomly giving the power to give stars?

Sounds like a job for TNT

I wouldn't complain if the moderators took a vacation

Sounds like slashdot's mod system.

It's based on it, yes

Rumor is clicking that star button 100 times increases your chance to be "it"

What is the monetary value of a mod point? About the same as a Schrute Buck?

Closer to two Stanley nickles.

no offense, but this seems stupid.

No offense, but this is a really stupid idea.

Is there any general guidance to what a +\- means?

I have some safeguards to protect against that

El Jefe

12/17/12 5:24pm

The +1's can be for "funny", "insightful", and other vague stuff like that

El Jefe

Quick report on the community moderation so far:

El Jefe

12/17/12 10:04pm

"You have to be online to be selected for mod points."
