Applaud or smite?

[K-amps]

Great posts!

1 )Perhaps when smiting (or applauding) the "judger" needs to assign a reason; that's how feedback becomes constructive.
2) The smite/applaud should be linked to a post; this way we all know what was objectionable or worthy.
3) There should be a tracker of how we as anonymous people leave smites or applauds for others (just a simple karma like counter of how we judged others behind their backs).

My personal rule(s),

1 smite for every 10 applauds... and not more!
Never smite for a disagreement of a point of view provided it was done respectfully
Always smite bullying!

Quick, somebody smite me for voting without carefully reading all the options

I voted the second last option but I should have voted for the last option (oops)...I've said before that I resist smiting somebody just because they're being a jerk while disagreeing with me (it happens occasionally), though there has been an exception to that.

Should we ask the mods to allow for self-smiting? (While obviously disallowing self-applause...)

???

Isn't the entire system a little like Bentham's prison, the Panopticon. Be good, you never know when you're being watched. Applied utiliatarianism philosophy in a Canon forum, fantastic!

The site is owned by a Canuck, therefore no vote is legal unless it's published in both official languages... bien sur.

Exactly! You get an applaud for begin concise and insightful. (I've give you two, but it's not allowed) Not surprisingly, you summed up in three sentences, what I tried to say in a massively long post.
