A Score is included in the [[comment]] [[feature]], but it could also be a distinct feature. | A Score is included in the [[campaign]] (or [[comment]]) [[feature]], but it could also be a distinct feature. | ||
It's basically just some range of integer numbers where a small number indicates dislike and a large number indicates liking something.

==Alternate schemes proposed== | |||
===A Fixed, Simle range=== | |||
One idea is to use a seven step system for scores as follows: | |||
*-3 Boycott | |||
*-2 Strong Avoid | |||
*-1 Avoid | |||
* 0 Neutral | |||
* 1 Support | |||
* 2 Strong Support | |||
* 3 Endorse | |||
===Variable, relative range=== | |||
Variations are | |||
*A range from -1 to 1, using real values as score | |||
*A range from -100 to 100 using integers as score | |||
*Other shceme | |||
A fixed range could be converted to a relative range by dividing the score with abs(max) or abs(minimum) and multiplying it by the the maximum value of the fixed range | |||
