Think this is pretty excellent, kudos to the builders! Would be great to have sharable URLs: current - http://haternews.herokuapp.com/?... shareable - http://haternews.herokuapp.com/?...

Oh this is really awesome. I'm so curious how they calculate the scores. Proud of my 3% score- - but even then, my "worst" offenses were not actually haterisms. Idea: Allow users to report non-offenses so that the algorithm can improve over time based on these reports. Sort of like how users who report spam help spam-fighting tools get better. It would also be kinda funny / kinda cool to have an Internet's Most Wanted list of top trolls of all time.

@narekk I love both ideas! I'm definitely going to do the first one and I really like the second one, I'll just have to figure out how to do it. :)

@KevinMcAlear Maybe crowdsource it, have a landing page for people who want to "Report a Troll" and then rank the top ones of those :) Dunno just an idea. Good luck anyway, and holler if you want more feedback @narekk on twitter.

If anyone would like to know more about how it is built I wrote up the basics of how the algorithm works. and my findings in general. I'll keep working on it and if anyone has any suggestions let me know! :) http://kevinmcalear.com/thoughts... Also, if you want to help out with it here is the repo: https://github.com/kevinmcalear/...

@KevinMcAlear This is pretty awesome! I wonder if this could be used with Disqus usernames?

Report a troll would be a great feature, particularly if you can track them across multiple sock puppet accounts as well. There is a current controversy over a sci fi author and her troll accounts right now that this could have headed off years ago before so much damage had been done. Sunlight is often the best disinfectant. My worry would be of someone made a site to track sarcasm. That would have my name written all over it.

@SacBookReviewer I like the idea! "Sunlight is often the best disinfectant." is something I 100% agree with and thought about while building this. :) Sarcasm seems to be quite difficult but I have some ideas on how to improve the algorithm to try to take some of it into account but not everything.

Ha ha. My worst comment is "Hey #leanstartup. Get help with your #leancanvas on SoHelpful ... " So the nastiest thing I've said is "check out my product where these nice people will help you for free".
