> as I'm using FB comments [Smacks forehead.] That definitely explains why it looked so much like FB comments. That's a neat approach. FB moderation handles spam and blatant trolls. Next layer moderation - promoting insightful content / burying lazy content - was more what I was thinking of originally. But that is such a tough problem here. Maybe unsolvable with comments on something so sparse as, well, literally everything online. Wikipedia has a whole (sometimes hyper vigilant) army of volunteers, and that's a tiny subset of this problem. Hmm, yeah, I think you're probably at least at the local optimum with FB stopping spam and trolls. Good stuff.

> [Smacks forehead.] That definitely explains why it looked so much like FB comments. That's a neat approach. FB moderation handles spam and blatant trolls. :) I'm always hopeful, that users can take over this kind of moderation by up-/down-voting (only up-voting in the case of FB, I guess). But yeah, the sparseness is a real problem. I'm trying to approach it by promoting to specific communities. But might be a tough road ahead.. :D (As many have pointed out here with approaches that have been tried before.)
