Subject: The Cryonet Rating System- a suggestion

What a great job Kevin has done with Cryonet!

He did not want to be the censor, he wanted the users themselves to
deal with spammers and abusers.  This has worked worked very well for
many years.

A problem has now appeared- one user had abused the rating process.  I
don't think this requires a major re-work of the system.  I suggest
this: Kevin take action here by asking the user who rated David
Pizer's messages as abusive to make a choice: identify himself to
Cryonet with a justification for his ratings, or withdraw those
ratings.

What do you, think Kevin?  I think if this is done, you won't have to
work on modifying a system that has worked.

And thanks again,

Bruce
