      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

              You were just complaining about how its being exploited! Now you think its fine?!

              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?
                  I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

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