That’s really interesting, but honestly I think I like the simplicity of upvote/downvote better. It seems like it would take a bit of tuning to get the Slashdot system to work as intended.
Well, the simplicity of the upvote/downvote buttons are what also cause the drawbacks of people using the system as “Agree” and “Disagree” buttons. I’m a solutions oriented guy. Everyone always bitches and moans over what the problem is, and nobody ever suggests solutions.

I like your solution, and I think it would be cool if some communities could try it out. I don’t know how that would work technically though.
