Hacker News Moderates with Only One Person and Their Biases
http://arclanguage.org/
Does anyone have experience with this? Dang told me this is what is used to moderate the site by himself. I wonder how one person moderates this site all alone and what tools he is using to make these decisions. Is anyone else curious about what terms or things Dang allows and also doesn't allow?

- fuzzfactor 4y agoIt seems to be a fairly high-performance approach.
- verdverm 4y agoThere is a lot of community based moderation. It is not just Dang, though he is the primary admin and final decision maker, when it comes to his attention. He does not see everything.
- mtmail 4y agoYou need more karma points to see the 'flag' button, even more to see the downvote button. 1000 of users can flag and downvote on Hackernews.
- Layke1123 4y agoYeah, I wonder why certain people are allowed to obtain that many points to begin with? Almost as if you "play by the book" on a website dedicated to, wait for it, NOT playing by the rules.
