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?

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 is a really stupid idea.

I have some safeguards to protect against that

El Jefe

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."
