Excellent job thus far on the beta version! I like how much work you have already put into this.

However, I do have a concern that I hope could be addressed early, and could very well help bring more credibility to this idea. On the featured column the other day, a member 'NeoDaCon' was on the rant against Ron Paul. Which I must say was amazing that it was there, and shows we do want to encourage free speech whether or not its exactly what we want to promote. However, Nemesis has a featured article complaining against NeoDaCon.

Anyways, I think it would a good idea that on the "kudo's" system, that there be a way to justify why you gave a yea, or nay. That way people can tell good ratings from bad ones. Also, it would allow those who put up the article that they are not in the majority, but it still allows them to have their voice heard, and everyone can post their bit as well.

I just don't want to give any ammunition to the powers working against us. We need to be much better then them to beat them at their own game, and reign at the top of ours.
