[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

Now anyone can use their karma to subtract from someone's karma ... 
so if you feel someone is out of line, you can take points from them, 
but you also lose the same amount of points.  If anyone loses too 
many points in a day or week or whatever, they are not allowed to 
post for a time period.
So, the guy playing the cop could potentially end up banning themselves... 
but if others agree with the action, they can add to that persons 
points ...to prevent that.  Community policing.

Beer pressure works. You made a typo.
Nice idea btw, adding some fun to the discussions.

Beer pressure does work.... that is how I ask contractors to do things. 
 I call them over, and as I ask them to make changes, I pull out 
the ice from the bag, pull all the beer out of the boxes, and put 
it all in the cooler.  But the time I'm done talking it is all set 
up, and by the time they are done working, the beer is ice cold!


Graham, yes, great idea.  This is a model we have used in game rooms. 
 


It would be interesting in this context to see how people help each 
other.  I suspect it "might" be a zero sum game.  There are people 
that regardless of the facts simply help the underdog.    It is why 
so many hard criminals attract women from the outside.  


I have not seen anything like this though in Qtask.  I think the 
fact that you upload your picture makes you a little more "accountable", 
and that a moderator can kick you out.  Slashdot's system works pretty 
well, it might be fun to play with that more too.
but the time - by the time.

Indubitably, beer makes a great tool for a modern man. :-)

zero sum games are for those people who can't add.

Right, that would be a drinking game : )

I own REBOLCentral.org.  I'm going to let it lapse unless anyone 
thinks we should do something with it.

Oh a change of heart - good to hear.
Wow, just looked and my account here was created in November 21 2002, 
 Can't believe it has been that long.  Looks like a lot of us have 
been around here that long.

The last I heard about rebolcentral.org was that we were waiting 
for someone to come back from their honeymoon.

Jesus walk on the water
 ?!!???!!!?? Rebolish !!

Now I understand with BS was th most used group in this word (before 
BS-C).
with=why
Reichart

Rebolish?
DideC

Rebolish : humor !

With a "rebolcentral.org" domain name, I was surprised to fall on 
this "Jesus walk on water" page.
Maybe "Rebol walk on the IT water" ??

I'm curious if anybody donated
sqlab

Looks more like done by someone, who can not let pass up any chance 
to grab a dime from a fool.(
Reichart

Many donate, but that is besides the point.

I own a lot of domain names, and many we simply forward to "somewhere". 
 Personal stuff I tend to forward to JWOW.


The big question is, do we keep this domain.  I will release if no 
one wants to use it.  Otherwise I will pay to keep it and donate 
it to anyone here who has a good use for it (and WILL use it).
sqlab
4-Feb-2009
[3185]
But why did you register that name?
Graham
4-Feb-2009
[3186]
It was intended for a user based REBOL site for teaching etc from 
my recollection ...
Reichart
5-Feb-2009
[3187]
It was intended to be a single place that would simply list all known 
REBOL resources.
sqlab
5-Feb-2009
[3188x2]
this explain registering,  but the name
, but not the name
Gabriele

a single place with all rebol resources
 does not explain why it's called "rebolcentral"?
Graham
5-Feb-2009
[3191]
What exactly is rebolcentral? A regular hosted account?  Or do you 
have shell access and can run daemons etc?
Reichart
5-Feb-2009
[3192x2]
Right now it is a name.
Sqlab, I did not follow your point, or question perhaps...
sqlab

JesusWalksOnWater.com does not sound like a name for a central rebol 
repository.
Maybe I do not get the joke.
Maarten
5-Feb-2009
[3195]
I think RebolCentral is a great domain name to point to a centrally 
hosted open source repository
sqlab
5-Feb-2009
[3196]
So we speak about different names/pages.
Graham
5-Feb-2009
[3197]
Anton, there is no content on rebolcentral.org ... so Reichart just 
forwards it to jesuswalks as a joke.
sqlab
5-Feb-2009
[3198]
bad joke

Nothing new or original.  Not a joke either - he uses the link for 
defamation.
Rebolek
5-Feb-2009
[3200]
I agree, bad joke. As whole book where this bad joke comes from.
Reichart
5-Feb-2009
[3201x2]
Graham, not a joke, simply a process.  To call it a joke implies 
forethought
Graham, not a joke.  It is simply grouped by process.  A joke would 
imply there was forethought, then it could be a good or bad joke. 
 Since it is not a joke in the first place, it can't be good, or 
bad.


But, sure am glad that the real question on the table, the name itself, 
is being skipped here...would hate for anyone to actually address 
something of substance, but hey, look a shiny object LOL
Rebolek

I think it's a bad joke. The setting is not bad, people don't usualy 
walk on water, but then what? Does he catch some fish with bare hands? 
Or is there someone passing by, telling him "you can't walk on water" 
and after he realizes that, he sinks down? No, nothing. There's no 
punch line. Sorry, bad joke.

The bright side is the Lord (the one that walks on water) will be 
saving Reichart some day.
Reichart
5-Feb-2009
[3206]
But the "real" question is, are going to save REBOLCentral.org?
[unknown: 5]
5-Feb-2009
[3207]
You mean you didn't get enough donations form the site button?  LOL.
Reichart
5-Feb-2009
[3208]
This is not about money, but about "group effort".
Gregg

Let it lapse. If we decide we need it again, we can pick it up. If 
someone else picks it up, we'll use another name.
Reichart

[3210]
Several people have now posted to me privately that they would like 
to do something with it, which is cool, I will keep it for them...
Graham

[3211]
do you own the Jesuswalksonwater domain?  And if so, do you use the 
donations to fund rebol development?  :)
Reichart
6-Feb-2009
[3212]
I do own JWOW, I do not use the donation for REBOL development, the 
only connection they have is we route all domains to one place.
Graham
6-Feb-2009
[3213]
So, you use the money to fund the Christian Jihad ?
Reichart

Would you like to take this to BS?
