yes, let computers do the repeatable work and humans do the original thinking.
i still haven't seen a moderation system better than slashdot, which community-sourced its moderation/meta-moderation semi-randomly. though it still had issues with gaming and spam, it seems like a good base to build from. and yet we ended up with twitter, facebook, reddit, yelp, etc. that optimize for (ad) views, not quality.
- bryan_w 6y agoslashdot had good bones, but what it was missing was a pool of known good moderators. Without them, you end up with a death spiral as bad actors upvote and meta moderate each other and drive good mods away.
- clairity 6y agoyes, perhaps an old-fashioned meatspace reputation network could be employed to bootstrap it.
