yeah they stopped accepting new signups for a bit, i think they said they're like 3500 behind ATM
Not really since I'm on IOS now.
That said, K9 was my favourite android mail client, and I used it up until recently. It was good but always felt like it needed a little extra love to help with bugs. So I think they'll end up with a good product.
this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc.
That way you can, for example, set in your user preferences to ignore positive votes for comedy, and put extra value on informative votes.
Then, to keep people from spamming up/down votes and to encourage them to think about their choices, they only gave out a limited number of moderation points to readers. So you'd have to choose which comments to spend your 5 points on.
Then finally, they had 'meta moderation' where you'd be shown a comment, and asked "would a vote of insightful be appropriate for this comment" to catch people who down-voted out of disagreement or personal vandetta. Any users who regularly mis-voted would stop receiving the ability to vote.
I don't think this is directly applicable to a federated system, but I do think it's one of the best-thought-out voting systems ever created for a discussion board.
edit: a couple other points i liked about it:
Comments were capped at (iirc) +5 and -1. Further votes wouldn't change the comment's score.
User karma wasn't shown. The user page would just say Karma: good. Or Excellent, or poor, or some other vague term.
Yeah i had that yesterday where i was reading a thread, and then the topic changed while I was reading the page. The comments from the original thread remained, but the original post was replaced.
Weird bugs :)
Interesting. I was getting that earlier in the day, but it's pretty much instant for me now.
