My repping criteria is this: the post must fit into one or more of the following categories:
*concisely, politely, and interestingly answer a question*
*promote discussion of a new question that I have interest in*
*make me laugh out loud and share it with a friend*
*show good understanding and research of the topic at hand*
*be well-written (with thought paid to native language and age of poster)*
Although I have yet to negative-rep anyone, I would for any post that threatened the family-friendly nature of this website. If my mother wouldn't like it, than it probably shouldn't be here. (Understand that I have great respect for my mother's opinions, since she has proven time and time again that she is usually right.
)
I do rather like Fordie and Saucepan's ideas of the Out-Loud test, and the General Helpfulness qualifications. I'll take those into consideration.
