What I had planned for Microcosm is something based on a YMG... Yay, Meh, Grr... where you can attribute a score to pretty much anything (posts, threads, microcosms, profiles) using a consistent thing... +1, 0, -1.
I am disinclined to add all of the score multipliers. And am inclined to scope things... so scores from one thing in one area don't have this rippling effect elsewhere.
I'm kinda inclined to make things ultra-granular... to not ripple at all. So if a single post got scored badly, it contains the bad score against that post. But then I'm not sure why I'd do that.
In that question is the real nugget... why is reputation? Why even have it? What's the value and use of it, and if I can understand that then can I make it better
It's basically what I'm starting to think about.
