Re^5: Best Nodes with negative reputation

[jdporter]

Ha ha! Neither do I. :-D

But I'm thinking maybe we should revisit the whole idea of having "Best Nodes" lists. Why do we have them? If it's to serve as motivation, to get people to try to create the best nodes they can, then I'd say we should probably have a lower rep bound somewhat higher than zero. How "awesome" does it feel to make the "Best Nodes of the Day" list with a node that only has 5 rep? Maybe the lower bound could be based on $NORM...

Honestly I don't really care much about these minor "bugs", I just participate in the discussions with my observations to help those involved, even in an archived form for future contributors.

My mentality is to openly name even minor "problems", this doesn't mean I'm complaining or calling for action.

Maybe the gods should consider to get Athanasius and choroba involved as pmdevs ... this might reduce their energy to "name problems" ;-)))

BTW: One of your patches reads like actively omitting unvoted nodes from the stats, not sure if this is related to this problem.
