TBH it was one of the things I liked about Slashdot. Essentially everyone was thrown into a pool and was expected to moderate, but it was completely random. You also got thrown into a pool to meta-moderate. Those whose meta-moderation scores were good and didn't let the tokens expire too often were thrown into the moderation pool more often. It was pretty difficult to game without a lot of sock-puppet accounts.

- Blikkentrekker 6y agoThe problem with a self-moderating community is that it quickly turns into a circlejerking echo chamber that does not tolerate dissent. Democracy of course also tends to lead to this, and there are few countries on the planet that do not look back at what said country censored a mere century back, and consider such censorship abhorrent and unreasonable, and so shall everything censored today by law be considered as well in the future.
