Heh -- that was actually proposed for a karma-style thing on LJ, way  
back when, and it went over ... poorly. It's still the butt of jokes  
in certain LJ circles...

Anyway, I think we've hit the point of this discussion where there's  
no point in trying to name things until we build them, and this  
thread has gone on for a while, so I've created a page on the Wiki  
for people to brainstorm:

title=Points_brainstorming

Let's move this discussion off-list and do the brainstorming on the  
wiki page; this isn't something that we'd be able to have in place by  
launch, anyway.
