You may be right -- not sure on the traffic either. Nor what the various "forum rooms" would be... Family? Pictures? Trips taken? Who knows.

If (big if) some karma implementation could be done, it still might be feasible to do this without human intervention. For example, my user page is "http://lesswrong.com/user/jwhendy." If everyone else's is the same format... it's as simple as:

  • requiring every user to sign up under their current LW name (perhaps password as well so someone can't sign up under someone else's user name)
  • use that url (http://lesswrong.com/user/user_name) and find the number in between: "<span class="score">###</span>" (mine is currently: "<span class="score">417</span>"
  • if > 100, continue, if < 100, reject and tell user to get 100 more points

Not too bad.

That'd work perfectly except the part where you need to check if the put in the right password, yea. In fact, you're starting to make me think your plan might be the better one after all, depending on a few implementation details of LW I don't know about.
