Not that I read every post in this topic but as I read remmers#85 the 
following occured to me.

What if... individual posts where rated - say, on a five star scale. 
Further if all posts were to default to five stars and as grexers read 
and rate the post would be rated to reflect the average. With some 
filter arrangement grexers could choose the low-end threshhold they 
would be willing to subjec themselves to. Of course those who "live" 
here would be subjected to everything whereas the more casual among us 
would be treated to a dialed down version, if so desired. 

Of course there would need to be a mechanism to limit rating to once 
per customer. I think a system whereby the users have a direct say in 
what we want to represent would help build community spirit. 

Further the public access portal (read anonymously) could be tuned to 
reveal 'threes or above' (or whatever.) That might intice folks to 
register and log-in to see 1.what passes for low grade and 2.perhaps 
enter their 'vote' on the topics they did view.

What could possibly be more democratic than that? 2cents << madmike
