Not a fan of having to beg for an invitation. Seems like HN is able to handle moderation with a small crew.

- mariusor 3y agoSmall crew of very high quality *paid* moderators. I don't know how many other hats Daniel wears in YC, but based on the times he's active here, he's spending _a lot_ of time doing moderation work. Lobste.rs, as far as I know, works only with volunteers which probably are an incohesive group of random people with random thresholds for how they moderate. It's entirely reasonable for such a community to build redundancies in the methods for lowering unwanted content.
