Generally I find it pretty annoying when somebody quotes pretty much the entire thread so far, and adds a "me to" comment of 1 line plus a 10 lines of signature on the end of that. I think I'd like to score up messages where content is greater than quotation, and penalise heavily a message where content is less than say 10% of the lines in a message. I think this will catch the "me to" thread quoters, and the flame bait, reply to each point of your message type posters.
