Slashdot-style moderation?

Post by Fash »

Is there a mod for phpbb that would allow slashdot-style self moderation and view filters?... I wonder if that would help the signal to noise ratio... just a thought.

Is it like Digg.com has with the thumbs up/thumbs down voting so comments receive positive and negative scores, allowing the user to set a threshold of tolerance?

I don't think that would work here but I like that style on Digg. Minority posts on VV are the best ones usually!

kinda.. instead of just thumbs up or down, you can mod them Insightful (+), Interesting (+), Funny (+), Troll (-), OffTopic (-), Flamebait (-), etc.. they call it Karma..

See if you can find a mod - not a terrible idea. I'm not sure how it will work on 'flat' forums vs /.'s nested however.

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?
