acka-research Digest Wednesday, March 10 1999 Volume: 04 Issue: 053 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Acka: Proposal 4115 accepted From: Joseph DeVincentis Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 23:18:43 -0500 (EST) > Proposal 4115 > > Total vote for: 344 Total vote against:-122 > Acceptance Index: 161.0: proposal accepted The total absolute value of all the votes was a requested feature even before this rule went into effect; I hope everybody likes how this was implemented. > Zero Votes: > IdiotBoy 0 +20 ==> 160 ** +0 ==> 160 > O Olde Alpha 0 +20 ==> 758 ** +0 ==> 758 > Niccolo Flychuck 0 +20 ==> 180 ** +0 ==> 180 This is a bug, introduced by my recent changes. It wasn't calculating the absolute value of the acceptance index correctly because it now didn't calculate the acceptance index to begin with until after it tried to take its absolute value, and only a leftover initialization of that variable to zero kept the whole thing from dying a horrible, flaming death. :-\ I have uploaded a fix to brain. > ** This proposal was boring! ** 8 boring votes out of 11 total. Also, I added a new "really boring" feature to the bot, which is just the alternate Boringness test I proposed. If that test is met, a line similar to the above that says the proposal was really boring! will appear. > danke -61 +19 ==> 543 Fixed it this time. :-) /dev/joe ------------------------------ End of acka-research Digest V4 #53 **********************************
