If enough of us sign a petition using a non-reputable signature, we get unionization...
Really? You sign a petition and magically things change to your advantage? Are we living on the same planet here?
Can just build a new forum with blackjack and hookers once the majority membership signs on.
Far too late at this point, with something like this it has to be implemented right from the start, otherwise it just goes to shit. Plus it just adds complexity for no reason...
Trust, merit, activity were added post-forum creation my friendly dude. I remember a time when none of these concepts were concepts here.
After the new
DT changes, the system has already changed to a voting system, just use your trust list to participate in the voting process.
None of this petition would give shit here until theymos finds it worth implementing, you even don't know how many things are on his to do list anyways.
But if you see the good side of theymos's administration he already wants the community to get the power to decide who is trustworthy and who is not, so we should just respect this young mans thoughts.
Trust is only a small part of the system, but the web of trust can easily be abused. Between activity, reputation, merit, and trust, I think we can find a common ground of systems.
Theymos is slave to the community. His todo list could be made public for all the forum to do. Distributed work is done faster with more nodes.
and also my age.
