We should by now be able to actually > score these events like that. I favour making all karma actions worth 0. There are several like than in answers. It permits us to track the event without putting a value. The points and the notion of time to do an action are bogus. As I argued in https://dev.launchpad.net/Registry/RegistryKarma, the real value we want to know is who is helped. The user, the project's only community, several communities in a project, or several communities in several projects. This is still very difficult to know. This LEP was rejected. I prefer Matthews suggestion of removing the numbers (hence 0 karma value). We can count events by day/week/month/year if users want a number. -- Curtis Hovey http://launchpad.net/~sinzui
