* More counts added for M2, now in addition to counting the number of
times a user is voted fair or unfair, we also count the times a user VOTES
fair or unfair. The last pair of numbers can be used to determine if
your Slash metamoderation system is being abused. (This adds 2 new columns
to users_info: m2fairvotes and m2unfairvotes)

* Changes to the moderation system, these can be summed up by
describing the following new variables added to slashdotrc.pl:

m2_maxunfair: Float from 0 to 1. This number determines the percentage
of unfair votes that indicates abuse. The user performing
M2 will quietly be assessed a karma penalty and their
votes will be ignored if their percentage of unfair
votes equals or exceeds this value.

m2_toomanyunfair: Float from 0 to 1. This number determines the
percentage of unfair votes that indicates POSSIBLE
abuse of the system. If the percentage of unfair
votes exceeds this value then these votes are
ignored. No penalty is assessed.
m2_maxunfair: Float from 0 to 1. This number determines
the percentage of unfair votes that indicates
abuse. The user performing M2 will quietly be
assessed a karma penalty and their votes will
be ignored if their percentage of unfair votes
equals or exceeds this value.

m2_mincheck: Integer. Number of comments which have to be voted on
before the above checks are performed.
m2_toomanyunfair: Float from 0 to 1. This number
determines the percentage of unfair votes that
indicates POSSIBLE abuse of the system. If the
percentage of unfair votes exceeds this value
then these votes are ignored. No penalty is
assessed.

m2_comments: Number of comment moderations to be displayed in a single
M2 session.
m2_mincheck: Integer. Number of comments which have to
be voted on before the above checks are
performed.

m2_bonus: Amount of karma to be awarded upon completion of M2.
m2_comments: Number of comment moderations to be
displayed in a single M2 session.

m2_penalty: Amount of karma to be subtracted if M2 is abused.
m2_bonus: Amount of karma to be awarded upon completion
of M2.

m2_maxbonus: Karma maximum from M2. If a user's karma exceeds this
value, then said user receives no further bonus
for his participation.
m2_penalty: Amount of karma to be subtracted if M2 is
abused.

* Added the 'flag' column in metamodlog. This indicates how an M2 session
was treated and is a good way to check for possible M2 problems. Currently
flag can be the following values:
0 - No detected problems with M2.
1 - Questionable M2. Votes ignored.
2 - Abuse of M2. Votes ignored and UID penalized.
m2_maxbonus: Karma maximum from M2. If a user's karma
exceeds this value, then said user receives no
further bonus or his participation.

'goodkarma_limit' is now 'goodkarma'
'badkarma_limit' is now 'badkarma'
'goodkarma_limit' is now 'goodkarma'
'badkarma_limit' is now 'badkarma'

* Fixed a minor bug in metamod.pl that inadvertantly stopped the injection

* Added "<rss> ... </rss>" to .rdf file, and added encoding
