In reply to Thumbs Voting

Its actually a plugin like you mentioned and posted,
but do not forget how many people are actually using wordpress lets say over 1 million at any given time, compared to 15,000 thousand.

Also the blogs that I have seen from wordpress dont have this mod installed so its a choice of oneself, whether to install the plugin or not.

Also at this point in time of the developement of dolphin 7 Andrey did mention there will be a huge change to the blog system, so lets wait and see what Dolphin 7 has see more to offer.

yes we all sit patiently and anxious to see what D7 brings to the table.

although i disagree with you in regards to removing the voting system, because if you go and take a look there is a point system on the forums as well, unless i am just crazy, and that is one of the considerations boonex used when they were issuing licenses the other week. so voting is important, both positive and negative, the problem is that the anonymous votes blow. if you are not doing a reply or writing a post, then see more you should not be able to vote, its simple, no post no vote.

no comment no vote, sounds better, but what if for isntance you have the same person posting a comment to just to give you negative karma and its thesame peopel over and over ... this can go on for ages ...back and forths .. this is real valid reason I prefer to get rid of it totally.

The only good karma I can see working out, is for example in the forums, someone has a question and you answer it to best of your knowledge the best thing can be is to have a Thank you and it posts the thank you see more under your posts ... this is another way of getting a good positive comeback of karma.

technoman, not ignoring you, just had other things going on. ok here is the deal. no post, no vote, how i would envision this working.

users can post to any blog(s) and with that post, they are entitled to one vote per username. how do you curtail a member from creating multi-accounts, well i have thought about this as well. boonex could if they wanted to implement a pruner cron, if the members username, would be created and no domain name registered to the license number, free or otherwise, see more then the username would be pruned after notification, and a short period of time, say something like a confirmation when you join other sites, forums or blogs.


as it is now, a member can only vote one time per comment on here. so that is a good thing. the other positive is that if a person has to comment to be able to vote, that person could be moderated, and warned about continuous negative votes, and if the post didnt present a valid point as to the disagreement, then that post would be moderated, and the negative count would be removed.

i think we need to ponder on this, as i believe it could be refined so that it wouldnt be considered censorship or czar like moderation.

let me know technoman, this could prove to be an interesting topic overall.
