I don’t necessarily think engagement is the wrong metric, and I don’t mind some personalized tracking of that engagement to increase ad revenue.
The issue is allowing any old engagement.
I’d like to see the hacker news system scaled.
Some things that could make moderators actions go further to keep the cost down:
- outrage detection: before you hit post, you’re warned that your possibly inflammatory post will be flagged for moderation.
-timeouts: if a moderator finds outrage or outrage bait in a post, the poster gets a seven day timeout (cannot log on). ANYONE who replied to or liked the offending post gets a one day timeout.
- thrtythreeforty 5y agoWhy would I ever do anything but lurk in such a forum? The risk/reward ratio would be so out of whack that even if I wanted to learn something, I would rather not risk a drive-by ban if who I'm talking to turned out to make the moderator mad.
- nkingsy 5y agoI don't see a 1 day ban as much of a punishment. If there's a platform involved it could just block posting/voting for a day. As far as incentives to lurk, I see quite the opposite. I don't comment on reddit unless I have something funny to say because outrage, point scoring and comedy is what rises to the top rather than reasoned argument.
