Trusted users of OSNews.com are awarded “comment votes” which can be used to vote comments up or down. Subsequently, each comment has a score. Each user can set their score threshold in their preferences, and adjust the signal to noise ratio in the forums. Top rated users’ comments start with a score of 2, all other users’ comments begin life with a score of 1 and are either rated up or down by other OSNews readers.
