OUG:

Do you mean that a contributor gets PAID 5 points each contribution, while commenters PAY one point for each comment ? If the contributor can donate her 5 points back, I'm all for it.

So how much would one point be ? We're limited to ten comments per day, so 20 cents each seems pretty fair. That might make the more prolix of us more economical.

Oops.

..[its only a token-fee/..only to put the concept out there

a base...for say/a link to the topic and a quick blurb...
commenters get paid..<<..one point for each comment>>
to use as we chose [on site]..
the contributor can donate her 5 points back,..

or accumulate...or apply to an advertisers services..
[or redeem them via some gift..say a pen or a certificate of service[or a ribbon]..

who knows...it was meant to be only a small-point

<<so 20 cents each seems pretty fair>..its only a token gratuity
just to say ...we notice your doing a great service

i have a few words left
so will think outloud some other points

for egsample i love the abc big ideas...
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bigideas/

[who had a great show today]
title of/What Can We Learn From Terrorists?

Whatever else we might think about those labelled as terrorists,
it is clear that their tactics have changed the world
in ways that serve their religious,
political and ideological aims.

Moreover, argues Tariq Ali today,
contrary to what people imagine,
terrorism was neither spawned by Islam nor will it end with it.

[he cleverly linked politics in the west
[bailouts to neo capitalists..etc

to their deregulation/privatisation of govt services
[on the premise that govt shouldnt be doing so much
[yet screamed /begged for IMEDIATE GOVT..bailout..]
when their neo capitalist regeme was threatening to melt down

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bigideas/stories/2010/3033359.htm

so i note it
in the big picture section of the forum
in say ...the subsection ...of olo suggested vieuwing
for other members to comment upon... on these pages

sort of like a one stop shop...

but via members selection ..[of all THEIR favourited programs]
but sorted into format..say abc/programs/..youtube clips

sports/arts/ science current-affairs
war disaster god news science

..news papers magazines
radio/web sites..etc

going the full specrum

[maybe by topic or format/ cross referanced
of the special sites ...we all get our info from]

heck i was only thinking outloud
i dont want to loose what we got here

graham is asking for suggestions
i thought i would suggest
