Slashdot still has the best comment moderation system, even if none is perfect. When the story gets crowded by zillion of comments you still get the best ones in a single page without having to read literally 10 or 15 pages of comments.
- abcd_f 15y ago> Slashdot still has the best comment moderation system I disagree. It has a fundamental problem of earlier posts having far more chances to go +5 than those posted later. Something that is handled far better on HN that starts newer posts at the top of the comment page and lets them sink down.
- eftpotrm 15y agoLimited granularity, too. K5 improved on that, while HN's factoring in of time since posting seems to help to my mind as well. Yet, for all its failings, it was an impressive starting point that led the way for a lot of others, and was massively influential in a way no single site seems to have become since.
