Does anyone know of any good references for working point systems. Right now users who have been here for 2 years or make scripts with tons of users get the same voting rights as a spammer who just signed up. I've read that news.ycombinator.com doesn't give voting rights to members until they earn enough points. And new members are voted down if they don't conform with the norms of the site. (so if there is voting on scripts you could imagine someone posting a scrap all script would get voted down :) ) I think also adding transparency to voting will make it easier to spot the spammers. <p>Does anyone know of any good references for working point systems.
