Unpopular ideas may be ahead of their time, but they may equally be just stupid or deliberately proposed in bad faith. That's where moderation comes in. Honest

Unpopular ideas may be ahead of their time, but they may equally be just stupid or deliberately proposed in bad faith.
That's where moderation comes in. Honestly, I think good moderation is better for weeding out trolls and terrible ideas than downvotes. All sorts of idiocy makes it to the top of Reddit, for example.
- eyelovewe 5y agoI would have downvoted here instead of arguing with you as I am doing, lol. I disagree. I strongly dislike moderation ( it feels like an unfair boss coming in and using tricky stuff to avoid directly addressing the moderated party. Cowardice. Injustice. Etc…and such lousy grammatical constructions as “you are posting too fast”. Someone inform the HN bot that quickly is an adverb and that fast is an adjective, many incorrectly written street signs notwithstanding.
- thesagan 5y ago"Fast" may also be used as an adverb. See: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/fast https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/fast
