^ honestly probably malnutrition. i grew up not eating enough meat and there was almost no muscle on my body. you need protein for so many important things in the body beyond just musculature.

They say there's been recovered alien vehicles and we've re-engineering them. Well, I think that's total non-sense. Now, consider micro-chips for the moment. There's only a few places on the entire planet where they can be made. They're made in clean rooms more pure than any operating theatre in facilities that size of football stadiums. Those chips represent everything we've learned about science and technology. The facilities are the specialisation of our entire species technology.
Now, this idea of reproduction ignores how science works. Imagine horse-drawn carriages, electrical vehicles... fighter jets. You don't just go from 1% to a million. Everything we build is a slight improvement on prior mastery. Then picture dropping alien artefacts in the dessert. We're not going to do anything significant with it. In our hands those artefacts are nothing more than highly curious trash. Simply put, the manufacturing specialisation hasn't been built yet. And may not for 1000s of years.

I see what you mean, feeler, ill keep that in mind. and yes, its definitely not perfect.

reddit karma can be used to gate you from certain communities, and is almost exclusively used as a bot metric. which is incredibly ironic because the purpose of every reddit bot is to farm karma. it can also be "spent" in order to make bad posts, but since those sink to the bottom no one ends up seeing them anyway. yes my comparison was flippant; I do think the mana system is far superior, but don't fall into the trap of thinking that its elegance will keep bad actors out.

not really. reddit karma is a simple number that increases based on community upvotes. its more like a popularity metric tied to a posters account. the number is public.
mana represents relationships between posters, it gets weighted based on math and financial accounting, and isn't a simple good / bad metric. its also tied to a system that lets it be spent like a currency which is very different to "reddit karma".

^ no ones post history is old enough yet but otherwise it could work. the issue is people becoming sleeper agents and then posting horrible shit. the person who posted gore last night had 40 mana so they at least made 50 mana worth of activity. always one faggot who has to ruin it.
the mana system is incredibly elegant when it comes to these problems though. because long time posters end up having an incentive not to be fuck tards and they need to do so to have enough mana to break the rules anyway. so i do think your idea could work long term. at the moment the only classifier running is for nudity. i disabled the gore one.

^ don't let the terrorists win and remove the freedoms for everyone. allow people to post images unreviewed if they have a post history.

^ glowmin would be crashing out over this feel. it would be like a month long ban and then a battle trying to get unbanned.
