This is Slashdot's meta-moderation system from 20(?) years ago? Logged in users would randomly be selected to check moderation, and accounts that abused their mod points were flagged. Granted, you probably couldn't do that today as you could see meta-moderation brigades out in the wild. Employees should be better, although there's still the chance that an employee might use their position to punish opinions they disagree with.
- MBCook 4y agoI remember that. After a while I was “randomly” chosen to meta-mod all the time. But I know others were almost never chosen. Clearly the actions were reviewed so people’s percentage change could be adjusted based on seeming fairness.
- yardstick 4y agoYeah I remember slashdot days. Having employees do the meta moderation is key imo, and sounds like would need a second level of meta moderation to review samples of the employees actions. I’m also very pro a pay for final review, where eg you pay $50-100 or something around that level of inconvenience to have a multi-employee review (each employee reviewing it independently, unknownst to each other, and taking the majority decision).
