    Given the above, I have no desire to support your venture as a would be user. Just personal preference. The craziness of AC trolls or registered trolls is a force of its own, and when I don't want to see it I just filter out -1.

    This is also way different than Slashdot / Soylent news philosophy - Not like that's wrong but why do you take a slight at Soylent News on your site. Or it seems like you do. Good luck sincerely, but the tone of your comment turns me off to your idea.

    Yes, I understand that I will lose some people this way. I must have the courage to lose them if I want to try new stuff. It might work, in which case it would be worth it.

    I explained in another comment my feelings regarding the old slashcode, please see that.
