Questions and Comments about new Mod. System (Score 1)

My first question about the new system is regarding the scores the moderators give the posts... Is it the posts that get the scores (say +3) for instance, or does the user who posts get that new score and every posts s/he makes get that +3 score? I could see how moderators might start noticing intelligent, thoughtful posters and it would be nice if these posters were trusted with having a constant +3 score (or anything for that instance). But then again, a poster might have a great comment about a Palm Pilot one moment and then a useless flame towards SuSE the next.

It's also hard being a poster when your default threshold is say +2 but all your comments are logged as +1 initially. It requires that you adjust the threshold on each page that you post to so you can see your own comments and the potential majority of replies. I guess it is just a little complicated but not impossible. I've also noticed that when I change the threshold on a page the new page I am sent to won't print in index mode... only in the expanded threaded form. (I can't remember what it's /. term is :) )

Anyway, I was totally invigorated this afternoon to come home and use /. to see this new moderation techinque. I look forward to only 16 comments on a page, all of which have been pre-approved for my viewing pleasure. I don't post much, or even read others comments that often but I think that might change. Enought with the fluff, give me the meat!!
