mircea_popescu: !up kakobrekla

mircea_popescu: also explain the dynamics of !up/!down in chan

mircea_popescu: prolly needs a shortener

mircea_popescu: he paid for it or such ?

mircea_popescu: pretty cool

mircea_popescu: !up thestringpuller

mircea_popescu: 20 voiced. no more last supper.

mircea_popescu: peterl read teh log cause it's all in there

mircea_popescu: pankkake well sort-of.

mircea_popescu: no srsly, good thing.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` imo that's a good move.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` you're the liberal. they should msg you

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves omg are they extraditing danny ?!

mircea_popescu: ah right

mircea_popescu: the actual chan topic, and he has a point

mircea_popescu: peterl did you just remove your own voice a sec ago ?

mircea_popescu: he devoiced himself ?

mircea_popescu: uh

mircea_popescu: dja understand how this shit works ?

mircea_popescu: !up peterl

mircea_popescu: nubbins` you mean stupd

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla nah

mircea_popescu: !up fluffypony

mircea_popescu: mebbe the sa kid, fluffypony

mircea_popescu: artifexd not afaik. the general reaction is to get butthurt over how dares there be homework.

mircea_popescu: sux.

mircea_popescu: the part where you can make your voice vulnerable to !down however is great.

mircea_popescu: but really indifferent

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the part where you can make your voicing temporary is not so good, maybe

mircea_popescu: so there seems ot be a pretty clear cleavage.

mircea_popescu: there are also the folks that just stumbled in. not only those were never accepted, but are kinda still derpy, even today.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves from what i've seen, there are many noobs that read the logs and came with their homwork done. those were rapidly accepted and are a pleasure to this day.

mircea_popescu: artifexd last night

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla whay!

mircea_popescu: <artifexd> benkay I have noticed that your first response to someone new is a gettrust to see how they relate to you. Not an "ident", but a "gettrust". That has said much to me. << he's doing it right too.

mircea_popescu: <truffles> content of what << should be his epitaph.

mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> wait, you can only be !downed by the person who !upped you? << you can only be downed if a) you don't meet the wot condition or else b) if you upped yourself.

mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> which leads me to a pro << the pro is that it's impersonal.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves> it also adds inconvenience, like if i am mobile << i guess you ask someone to v you ?

mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with being 15, but you don't belong in the college dorms. they like... drink there.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves> if initiating noobs is a value held commonly here, isn't this a problem? << say this is college, not junior high

mircea_popescu: the idea being that this isn't where you first hang out if you just heard of btc last week

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves to make sure the new blood we get isn't all that new.

mircea_popescu: jurov siounds hoaxy

mircea_popescu: not sure ozbot deserves one. his baits suck :D

mircea_popescu: too ?

mircea_popescu: i guess we get to see how power corrupts

mircea_popescu: but you know, i figure it'd take some time for this to be digested and so we see if it actually is a good idea

mircea_popescu: Blazedout419 it seems perfect in that' it's easy for the right people.

mircea_popescu: all it takes is for someone in assbot's primary trust to wot someone, he's now self-uping

mircea_popescu: yeah what b said.

mircea_popescu: pankkake well if you feel it sucks do tell.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla don't fix the down vuln thing it's splendid

mircea_popescu: hello and welcome pankkake
