That makes sense.  What I'm still wondering is how an author gets
moderation points.  One possibility is that for every object you
write, you get the ability to moderate another object up or down.
Another would be you get one moderation point a day.  Or at random
intervals you get 5 points like on slashdot...  something like that.
