Yeah it seems the best solutions simply involve users flagging content themselves and being able to see what other people have reported regarding other content

- greglindahl 7y agoYep. No chance that brigading will result. Also, how good are kids at evaluating what other people have reported?
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoHackernews literally operates on this premise as well. Flagging is a very common feature. Crowdsourcing this is actually a very effective tactic. Also, you'd be surprised how smart kids are if you give them the chance, have the right UI, etc. I'm actually surprised the HN community seems to look down on crowdsourcing these efforts, kinda humorous.
- big_chungus 7y agoNo, Hacker News has a very different demographic than most other sites. I'm not saying flagging isn't a viable model, but it's also not reasonable to pretend it's going to work as well.
