What was Adam Katz's approach? Not using black or white lists just because they overlap is unfortunate. So is the reduction of generated scores that overlap probably causes. If we had enough people participating in mass-checks, it would probably be best to have a separate test for each possible combination of blacklists (and whitelists). Might be best to, say, create rule categories (blacklist, whitelist), and if more than one rule hits from a given category, only use the one with the largest (absolute) value? Which would complicate the rescorer. Or might be possible to do by modifying the tests, but seems messy. -- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L.
