rozallin,
I have felt for a long time that having categories to vote on a node would be beneficial. For example:
  • Good of Perl community
  • Ability to solve problem as stated
  • Creativity factor
  • Readability/Understandability factor
  • Accuracy
  • etc

    This gives the author an idea of why you upvoted/downvoted them in the event that you cast your vote, but did not reply to the node. It also allows them to evaluate their own postings by seeing which categories they are doing well in and which they are not.

    This would allow you to cast a vote for each category, in effect, "blessing" an author if you felt the node was outstanding on more than one level. The reputation for the node would be either the combined total of all categories, or if a good formula could be found - a weighted total of all categories.

    In reality - I do not believe this mechanism will work and is why I have not posted it previously. It sounds great in theory though IMHO. I just give it my ++, refer to it in any post where it is relevant, and /msg the author with a thank you.

    Cheers - L~R

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
    and:  <code> code here </code>
    to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



    • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
    • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
      <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
    • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
    • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
