No is -100 and yes is 100. I think if you send a #help, comand, it does useful things like give you insturctions. furus ------------------------------ From: "Gavin M.

Very effective. Does this create a new rule, since it's not self deleting?

Send mail to ackabot@ackanomic.org with lines like the following in the body: #vote PROP VOTE where PROP is the proposal you are voting on (e.g., 4120), and VOTE is the amount of the vote you want to cast. A vote of 100 is equivalent to the old "yes", and will result in no change in your mannna total. -100 is similarly equivalent to "no", and 0 to "baa". Votes closer to 0 (than 100) will result in a gain of mannna; votes farther from 0 will result in a loss of mannna, with no real penalty until you exhaust your mannna (initially 100 when we set up this system). /dev/joe ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Re: Acka: Proposal 4122 accepted Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 19:00:52 -0500 (EST) On Wed, 24 Mar 1999, Matt Miller wrote: > First of all, let me thank JT for his rule harfing scripts.

I don't believe it is however. --JT -- [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ End of acka-research Digest V4 #59 **********************************
