I think trolls are in it for fame but they'll take notoriety, and in their immaturity they are likely to see quantification as a form of scoring. Seems to me that Slashdot's moderation system has created systemic trolls precisely because it makes the site more game-like by tracking "karma" which is a lot like this. I believe managing the side-effects of this kind of system would be about as hard as just managing the troll problem on a case-by-case basis. — Daniel Lyons --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
