After last night SubPost.score
is now deprecated and its use will be slowly removed from the code. It has been replaced by SubPost.upvotes
and SubPost.downvotes
. This will allow us to implement more dynamic sorting algorithms in the near future.
Also, the implicit upvote given to a user for each one of their posts is now explicit (saved in SubPostVote
).
As a result, everybody running a production instance of throat should re-build the user and post score from the SubPostVote
table. I'll upload a script to do so soon.
This change might happen to SubPostComment
too, since it would speed up the rendering of each comment.
So you're saying that every post/comment we make adds to our score.
That means that power-posting will rank you up the levels and allows spamming as an avenue to control more subs more quickly.
I don't think I like this.
