Small things:
Could there be a remember me option on parlement for login pass?
Also in terms of length of pages, would there be a way to collapse information more, at least on the front page, to give a better view of what’s being discussed? (guess this goes back to tagging and categorizing)
In rating the posts, since if I have a filter set at +2 it will make me miss mechanically all new posts (by default at +1), would there be a way that a post by someone starts of with a score which is a weighed average of their previous scores (to accentuate the best and worst scores weight in the calculation of the average).
And I emailed you about this, but I was wondering why so many lines of post appear where there is only a score, ie +1 or other, is it that people actually propose a post with only this in the body, or is it that this is the way a click on the + button is shown? Could we get rid of the clutter?

That’s normal. Each vote is in fact a post. Thus you can actually vote in your posts.
+1 <= here I just voted on what you said!!!
And this is an important feature, because each server can act as a node in a P2P net. The communication protocol being mails.
Trouble is, all those posts can clutter the screen.
I’m trying to change it, to make it so that a hidden post will not appear as a full line, but maybe as a dot (which you could click to open it). I don’t yet know how, css will tell me what I can do easily :)
Maybe hidden posts should just be that, hidden. No dot, no line. That would be easier to do.
Maybe posts with a score under 0 should be hidden. There is still the possibility to see them, but only if you choose not to filter at all.
What do you think?
What about sub posts with a good score. What happens if one of their parent is hidden?

Yet I plan to add a simple feature: show first the forums with activity.
This should push away the least used posts and resolve, at least partially, the problem of clutter.

OK but the filter itself will run into a problem with scale. What if a hundredforums are active and noted as interesting?
Forums with more than 5 posts are automatically collapsed. If they have a lot of activity they will be listed first. It should organise things nicely and automatically :)
At the moment the filter works ok,
It still is rather slow, in fact due to a not large enough first page! Yes, because after 20 elements, the oldest elements/forums will be listed on a second page. This is currently not the case, thus they appear on the first page and are opened (opened because they often are rather small)!
(note that the “last active are displayed first” is not yet implemented, currently it is only “last created displayed first”)
Also (thinking of spam posts here) do you plan to make it possible for a userto filter out anonymous posts?
Not really, they are not differentiated on who originated what, just on their score. But anonymous posts start at a score of zero.
Cheers!

Users are not rated, but, sometimes in the future (and in a far far away galaxy), there should be “delegations”, or “proxy”. That means one person can delegate her voice on one issue to another person.
A person to whom is delegated n voices will have its posts automatically voted +n. Thus, highly regarded people will be highly visible in the system.
Trouble is, delegations are difficult to code… :(

Needs to debug it.
