Bingo.

It's strange that with the incessant game theory analysis that goes on around here, anyone could think this is a good idea.

I'd rather filter the list by counts of votes, up or down. I've turned off filters as it is.

It will be interesting. I'd expect an increase of voting, which is good in itself, but probably that increase will be predominantly about gaming the system, and retaliating against perceived gaming. We'll see how surly people get.

I wish some of the developers from the old Extropian list would implement their filtering mechanisms here. I didn't use it much, but they seemed to put some decent thought into the function and mechanics of a ratings system, instead of just tossing out some knee jerk adjustment.

Let the Karma Wars begin!
