Thanks, that was quite interesting. I hope Launchpad developers who work on this will take it into account -- I think it's true that karma in Launchpad is a bit of an experiment without a totally clear purpose. Another comparison we might draw is to seniority markers as used on eBay or phpBB, which are also trying to describe how much a user should be trusted. -- Martin -- launchpad-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
