Look at the discussion thread Dang waxes poetically in and note that he doesn't moderate several significantly more flamebait-y, political comments that happen to be on the others side of the political fence.

- Mikeb85 5y agoYes, Dang is a good moderator and HN is still my favourite discussion board on the internet in large part due to their approach to moderation.
- jimbob45 5y agoYes, Dang misses some, but I think the idea is that some posts fall through the cracks but if you routinely break the rules, you're going to eventually get flagged/banned. That way, we avoid a lot of false positive flags/bans that would otherwise be unjustly punished on Reddit.
