I understand why you would think that WRT moderating discussions or comments, especially where that entails interaction with the participants (eg. what dang does here on HN), but those considerations don't really apply to making a determination of whether a video should be taken down.
- meekmind 6y agoYes, I said that in the next paragraph. The debate is about whether or not a certain personality types are.. a) more appropriate as moderators. b) able to (emotionally & psychologically) withstand the type of content they are tasked with moderating. It's therefore my contention, based on the research I could find, that an Open personality is sufficient to fulfill both criteria assuming that we don't want moderators making distinctions beyond a certain point (e.g. is this content criminal/evil?)
- webmaven 6y agoI guess I didn't state my point clearly. "Moderation" isn't just one thing. Even in theory the personality types you would want for different forms of moderation would be different.
