Do you know that the only thing Drizzt Do'Urden did better than slay dragons, was to fight trolls. Recently our site has started to see a few of these caterwauling critters carelessly carpetbombing the comments. We need an effective blowback strategy; one that doesn't involve me harrassing our tech Sultan with "yo, delete X & Y's account."

With any interaction with the herd, there is a bit of fecal matter that must be tolerated. In other words, every wack comment will no longer get suppressed. Instead, I am going to put a rating system in place. Only a select group of users will have the power to "troll-rate" (and their identities will be kept secret for the duration of time they serve as troll-raters). This rating system will let everyone know which comments are wack, and which wonderful.

Hopefully this will keep the atmosphere of the place in line with what Eteraz is supposed to be.

Now to figure out the technical stuff.
