I think HN needs to figure out how to expand the moderation team in a transparent way. The risk of course is introducing all the reddit-esque drama around moderator selection, abuse etc. Stackoverflow has had similar issues, though somehow stumbles along better than reddit. Regardless, there have been some huge thread recently that would have benefited from moderation.

Stackoverflow is completely different. It prioritizes the experience of readers over posters - being the one who asks a question is not a good experience at all, but being the one who searches and finds an answer is really good. What they do have worked really well for this goal, and I have great respect for their initial decision.
