So, hmm, why did I want to do it that way in the first place? Well, a "summed up" score could be really handy for certain types of decision making. It could provide people with feedback on their overall behavior.
The 'web of trust' scheme that I proposed could be extended in the future to do that (if a lot of users with high scores trust you and trust your judgment, then you get a larger score). But we would first need to develop a way to greatly reduce sock puppet-type abuse. In the meantime, it could be used to help filter RC for those who set up their own webs of trust.
I like your idea a lot.
Thanks!
