The answer is yes - because I was an ass - I admitted that the next day. ANYONE can have a bad day. But the way The Bozo Bit would work is that there would be a centralized server that collated all of your "feedback". If you are an ass too often your credibility shrinks and your "interestingness" level falls. Kind of like energy, or "life" in a first person shoot-em up. You could eventually build back your credibility, and your "interestinglyness" by posting and NOT being an ass. This wouldn't be just a negative thing - it would also have positive voting. And if it could be used by numerous types of web sites - from commenting to social network sites, etc, pretty soon I think most people would learn to "mind their manners". And that's really what it is about - you wouldn't come in my house and act like a turd - son't do it on my blog - otherwise we will label you as a turd, and what you have to say just won't mean anything to anyone anymore. Imagine comments like the tag clouds - where those with a high credibility on a topic have a bigger "cloud" and the turds just get reduced to something I don'ts pend my time reading... because they are small, and insignifiant.
