Scoring means having filters that assign a value to a post, each filter
(potentially) adding it's bit to whether or not a post is good or bad.

i.e. 
    1. posted by regular who I deeply admire
    2. in response to someone I consider a troll
    3. on a topic I am interested in
    4. to multiple groups
    5. whatever

Each filter has a positive or negative number that it adds into the mix, and
at the end you've either got something you like or don't.
