If you are the first annotator on an idea, it can be useful to state
neutrality lest someone else fishbones without annotating and you
appear to be the culprit.
If a positive vote is [+] and a negative vote is [-], then a neutral
position could be represented as halfway between the two: [=].
This
would prevent misunderstandings as described above.

//not everybody can be pleased at the same time?//
**What!?!?**
Oh. Right. Fair point. |
|
| |
yahbut, if you're the first anno'er then you influence the next person to read, therefore you may be the cause of a bun or bone. |
|
| |
[ ] .... now maybe if you had written it 8 years ago... |
|
| |
Screw the first annotator! They're the crazy ones, all obsessed with fame. Everyone knows the sixth annotation is the best, anyways. |

//Should we cater to that craziness//
Isn't that one of the prime purposes of the 'bakery? ;o) |
|
| |
Prime purposes? Are they like Space Corp Directives, or
more like the directives that Robocop had scroll past
him on his DOS screen, which if you freeze frame at a
certain point, you'll actually see (well, we actually saw)
one that says among the scrambled characters "Avoid
Orion Meetings". |

// Should we cater to that craziness // |
|
| |
It's probably wise to humor the crazies, lest they crawl up to your windows in the darkness and scratch their fingernails down the glass....... |
|
| |
[neutral] but only for the sake of irony. |
|
| |
Who was that guy that said that the world was
round? Wasn't he crazy? It is really hard to judge who
is crazy and who isn't. |
|
| |
Especially since BlueTooth handsfree became popular. |
|
| |
So now with a bit of money, I have a way out. |
|
| |
Cater to craziness..., Good God, I thought we not
only catered to it, but we nourished and encouraged
it as well. My mistake ;-) |
|
| |
Hey, anyone can be wrong. Except us, of course .... |
|
| |
... well there was that one cat you assimilated by accident. Ever since the borg have been roaming the galaxy rubbing up against any civilisation to assimilate a free meal. |
|
| |
If croissants be the food of crazy, bake on. |
|
| |
Solve the problem. Make it impossible to vote without first annotating. |
|
| |
[UB] Nagh! Sometimes the idea's so gorgeous/terrible nothing more needs to be said a bun or a bone says it all.
I'd rather see a "viewed" count.
That said, I usually treat the absolute sum of bun and bone as an indicator of "goodness". |

Despite having the view that getting all Jesuitical about the mechanisms of the Halfbakery as opposed to revelling in its content is a bit unhealthy, it would be interesting to drop negative/neutral/positive votes in favour of voting "I am ambivalent about this idea"/"I have a strong positive or negative opinion about this idea!". |
