Re: Re: Reputation for anonymous monks

That could be easily fixed by having the ability to give away your right to vote on the node...

But that raises the issue of people casting null votes all the time...

Or do you claim that votes can be influenced by knowing the node reputation, but not by knowing the author reputation?

I make no such claims. It's a concern, and it's why the XP system did not change the first time this idea was discussed. I personally don't see need for change.

That's good, isn't? That would mean people are interested in the reputation of a node, wouldn't it? It'll support Tye's conjecture that's node reputation is more important than monk reputation.

Neither do I, but I don't see a need to defend or keep it either.

Looks like everyone(everyone who generalizes is a fool) most monks in the Monastery are programmed like this:

if ($NODE->{title} =~ /new feature/) {
    
    print [
      'You already have that feature in your browser',
      'You can already do that manually with X',
      'The DB server is already very loaded',
      'No' # I ran out of ideas ;)
    ]->[rand(4)];

}

[PodMaster]

I believe you meant to write :)

if ($NODE->{title} =~ /new feature/) {
    print "I like things the way they are, and your suggest does not s
+eem better",$/;
}

Give them some credit, Eliza's code is at least slightly more complex than that ;-P
