Re: [Slashcode-development] democratic moderation.

[Eric D. <eri...@ja...>]

I think you can pretty easily disable the comment/rating the same article. Seems like it isn't much of
an issue in Bender, cause I've posted a comment, then moderated, or vice versa, and nothing happened. In
slash 1.0.X I'd see a "undo moderation" thing at the top after entering a comment (and doing moderation
before).

And yes, kuro5hin seems to make you login before moderation. Perhaps your plug would be a good idea.
Maybe another idea is to have some sort of flag where you can "open" the moderation to everyone, but
they can only moderate once. And if that flag is set, then maybe do what you suggested and averaging the
results (this is where the plugin would come into play).

I think that is a cool idea. Looking forward to it.
