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.

Ahhh, I found a “vote” > and clicked it to see it was a vote. Very good! Much less confusing.

I’ve done another change to the interface. Now filtered elements don’t appear as a full line by itself. But as an orange >. It’s clickable, to browse it if wished.

It’s done to help the interface, to ease it. What do you think, does it work?

I tried no filter, seemed ok but not that many posts just yet. I now filtered +1 and could see text as I wanted until I got to this one: http://leparlement.org/Re_Parlement_47
I now assume this is a “vote” with no text. However it is rated 1 so why do I see it if I have a +1 filter? I suspect that is the actual vote? What do the filter numbers mean +1, +2 etc.
This needs to be explained in FAQ but I do not understand --yet— to explain it. I also am hampered by vocabulary as I do not understand some programer lingo, and not even enough to ask questions some times. We are making progress though. What a user needs is to know if they get to a “blank” page, it is supposed to be blank. The “vote” page has nothing on it except perhaps a -1 or such.

The blank vote pages seem to be the root of my confusion. Could they be filtered out? Or labeled as vote page so not looking for text on them?

I still cannot see any test on the “latest posts” line. I went back to this one (03 11 06 and can read the test fine. The “latest posts” I cannot read to even evaluate how to vote on them. ??? Thanks, Bruce

Initial post rating

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… :(

Cool

And now, the “who is connected” box :)

I can not see a change. I still have filter box the same. Perhaps I do not understand how to access the change?

I have in fact made a change.

Now if you go to a post, even if it’s just a vote, it’s displayed without filtering.

Because if you click on an element, you most certainly want to see it.
