184. No, it doesn't...

Any point-value system applied to posts decreases the overall honesty of the board.

The reason television news, especially local television news, is so bad is that they are competing for television viewers.

The reason slashdot is so bad is that people are competing for the moderators attention. Too many posts that rise to the top on slashdot, your so-called "cream," are composed by people who are not writing from their hearts, or even from their heads. Instead they are on the float in Mardi Gras, throwing shiny trinkets and candy to the ladies.
