User talk:Alerante/Point system
Some parts of this seem to go against the nature of Wikipedia, imo.  Not being able to create new main namespace pages until you have recognition stops someone new from coming along and creating a fantastic new article - they have to edit other articles and draw attention to themselves.  The proposal has merit but I think there are problems associating a user popularity rank with their permissions. [[User:Violetriga|violet/riga]] [[User_talk:violetriga|(t)]] 22:31, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:The point levels are just there as an idea. I personally think that the scale (as well as the entire proposal, it could be said) is very rough around the edges, and it serves as just an example of what could be done with this. If the base point level should include more permissions than these (and they probably do), then you can draft another system. If you dislike this altogether (see below), then I will take your comments into consideration and modify or scrap the thing outright. <small>[ [[User:Alerante|alerante]] | [[User_talk:Alerante|&#x201c;&#x201d;]] 20:14, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC) ]</small>⏎

Bad idea, it's as gameable as Slashdot's karma points. Tying privileges to it would increase the justification to try to exploit the system. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|&#9998;]] 01:47, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Interesting ideas, but not a lot that is new. I have some other possible objections. Should I add them to the section? [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 18:18, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:Go ahead, it's just a proposal, if you have anything to add, just go ahead.
