Protection of it is trust metrics, but it works for articles only...
Now more popular is to post Diary and then read all list of diaries to answer to questions and
make
comments. But so - any user could alter this part (list of recent diaries) and put any Spam he
want.
So we have protection no more... only good behaviour of members saves all :)
As for certifications.... Look at list of people who have certified me.... And still I am Observer ;-))))
Just realized - I can't modify a project I'm Lead developer to ;)
dyork: Certs - Just remember the process of certifiing...
1st calculates all Apprentices (including J and M). If you have strength of 1000 (flow
value) give 10 Apprentice certs to people, then you give to every one 1/10 of your strength
(=100).
Now - 2nd is J (including you) - you certify only 2 persons - this means that your power to certify
J's is 1000/2 = 500 - so every of them get 500 points.
You see why it is easy to push to higher level ? :-)))
Becouse you are already give more certs of lower level than you able to handle with your strengs.
It's pity... but you can't display value of this strength :(
