After weeks of hard work, I would like to introduce you to version 1.0 of the "OSNews Style Guide: Rules and Guidelines for Publishing and Participating on OSNews" [.pdf]. Read on for some small notes on what this actually means.

I agree. With current system, I might think that an article is well written and worth reading but disagree with the sentiment of the writer. I might want everyone to read to such an article so that they will debate the issue in the comments section. However, given such an article, I might be reluctant to 'recommend' the article and to endorse it by associating my name with it.
Perhaps a rating system with more than one field is the answer?
Also, when the system was introduced, I never bothered with it as I assumed that 'recommending' the article would mean emailing my recommendation to someone. Perhaps 'vote' would be a better term than 'recommend'.
