It is really sad that our knowledge of these policies is limited to guesses and rumors, and that there is no public log of moderation actions.

- labster 5y agoHonest question: why is it sad? There’s another thread[0] going on here right now about how human processes shouldn’t manage pathological cases with policy and procedure. Moderation is all about pathological and edge cases. Mod actions that work on some users every time may not work at all on others. I don’t believe treating us all the same is the best way to get quality discussion, and transparency is not an end in itself outside of government. So how… how would a moderation log and strict policies make HN a better place? [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30340588 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30340588
