But there are checks & balances. For each user, history (past intentions) allows a simple metric, 'karma/created' to base any decision on. That and the fact 'double clicks', 'easter eggs' are a windows paradigm & the user is a cheeky 'Kiwi'

Point taken. My morals caught up with my sense of humour and I took it down. Once might be funny, but I realised that if a lot of people did things like this, News.YC (which I really like) would be made useless.
