The majority of those who voted want to improve the system, but I still believe that improvement of the system is an impossible task. Only one person believes the system should remain the way it is which should tell JP that there is a problem. Thanks for voting.
I think the Anti-point System is a good idea you can make quite a few friends if you use it properly. Just don't abuse it...;)
Welcome back, Schmoo! :)
Glad your back, Schmoo.
I think the idea of the AntiPoints system rocks! Knowing who is giving *good* and *valid* advice and who doesn't.
So what if it doesn't quite work that way in practise...tune + tweak it till it does.
Besides, it's a better way to sound-off about an outlandish post than posting something everyone else on the planet has to be subjected to viewing.
Here's what I offer as a starting point for suggestions regarding improvement:
(1) Link on home page under "Member Functions" explaining the Antipoints (include "acceptable use" -- after all -- a comp security community should be all for policy examples ;) )
(2) No antipoints options voting for general chit-chat and socializing -- link not even on those boards. Option on for Tech issues. Tech includes, but is not limited to: security(comp, physical; terrorism; jail; spying or other), crypto, math, physics, astronomy....anything that requires THINKING.
(3) Pre-load check on the Antipoints award such that a comment containing solely "F* YOU" (and derivatives) with no other explanatory remark goes to /dev/null
(4) hmmm.....
Greetings:
We will always be improving the AntiPoints system, but it's not going anywhere. Thanks for the suggestion though.
