This seems like a snitch program.

And cronyism. If there was a random algorithm that assigned

It is completely random

El Jefe

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

I edited the message to make that more clear

I thought it was a completely arbitrary selection.

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

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

I wouldn't complain if the moderators took a vacation

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?

Cougarclaw

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:

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