Major update.

The downside of this activity is the karma system and the amusing flame wars that erupt across half the forum because of all the smart alecks who are mass-editing the database for everyone. As far as I remember, the intermediate system was too convoluted. And you can still read comments on your own posts. Here's what I think should be added to the current system: 1. The ability to view and undo your influence on the database (with comments). Perhaps this should be done in a similar way to viewing comments on your post – instead of "You cannot influence the database twice in one post," display a comment, a bird icon, and an "undo influence" button. 2. Fix the ability to see the author of a comment – as far as I know, some user groups currently don't display the nickname of the person who wrote in the database. This happened to me when I left a clan; I had to go back because I didn't want to guess who was messing things up. 3. Optionally add an icon to each post showing its "goodness/badness" and the total change to the database for that post. But not a stupid star icon like before; instead, a small bird icon next to the influence button, sized to match the bird icons on the button.
