Journal edgarde's Journal: friends & foes lists used for Score modifiers

Was gonna reply to a day-old, off-topic comment, probably from someone's troll account, and decided it was less foolish as a journal item.

Well, the main reason is that you can assign a modifier to posts. (such as +2 to friends -2 to foes)

Unfortunately others can view whose "friends" & "foes" lists they're on (under "fans" and "freaks"). Some narcissistic personality (1)[ ?] type has been downmodding my every post (-1: Overrated) since he found himself in my foes list.

It would be a pretty good feature, but as implemented it enables more damage to the moderation system.

Maybe one could argue that people who create a Foes list lack sufficient judgement to moderate.

  1. I throw this phrase around too much to mean "inappropriate, intense or uncontrollable anger in reaction to minor stimuli" -- basicly borderline personality disorder without the suicide attempts (which would be an improvement). What I hate most about internet is how destructive it allows such people to be.
