If there's no shortage of moderators, then have them moderate according to HN's missions and objectives like those in a startup does. This includes penalising comments that go against HN. If you're worried about the possible risks and outrage, then the alternative is to die slowly.
Here's a community that has really strict moderation: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wp_modfaq http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wp_modfaq
The user is able to see reason for being censored and can complain, etc.
- benologist 16y agoWP's a great example ... it's years since I've seen that site but as forums went it was and prob still is light years ahead of anything else that was around including the harsh but transparent moderation.
- Kilimanjaro 16y agoI like that idea. Penalize submissions (hype,linkbait,fud) that go against HN's mission with 20pts and bad comments with 10, 20 or even 50pts for spam. Or something like that, if you get to negative score, you can't vote anymore until you go back to positive with nice comments and good submissions.
