I like the idea of judging posts, although most threads have such a short
lifetime that it might be more work than it is worth.
One thing I just tried: I "applaud"ed Spike, and his positive score
went up from 6 to 7. I then just tried it again, and the BBS interface
game me a warning saying that I could not repeat an action within the
wait time, and that the wait time was 6 hours!
The implication is that one can repeatedly applaud or smite someone
as long as you wait 6 hours between actions. These scores we are seeing
may include multiple entries from a relatively small number of people
who repeatedly applaud or smite certain targets. It's even conceivable
that someone could write a script to automatically redo the action every
six hours, giving somone 100 positive or negative points a month.
