Just a thought here....we can all see how many AP's we've received or given in the AP center, which is great. It would also be nice to have a bit more information and control over how we spread AP's. It would be handy if the system informed us of how many total points we have to disburse during a given 24 hour period, how many points we have assigned during said period, along with the maximum positives and negatives we can give per post. Add to that a feature that when assigning AP's that would allow us to adjust the amount of points we give down from maximum, ie a box in the assignment window that when left blank assigns the maximum, but when given a value (not to exceed the members max assignment value) allows the member to control the amount of points given to the post.

The point is, it would be nice to be able to go a little easier on newbies who make a stupid post out of ignorance by 'slapping their hands' so to speak instead of killing them with a barrage of negs. By the same token, a good joke doesn't really deserve the same amount of greenies that a tutorial post or a 'how do I solve x problem' solution post does. JMHO.
