- paulmd 3y agoThat’s what happens when you gamify “moderation” (pushing buttons at people) instead of providing answers. You get what you incentivize. Honestly, another major deficiency of their approach is the lack of any meta-moderation. If you gamify moderation, it really behooves you to also have some mechanism for gamifying finding and punishing users who abuse that moderation. You’ve created a predator-prey cycle between content generation and content moderation, without some mechanism to drain the “economy” of moderation eventually the predators will exhaust all available prey and then starve. Even HN has the “vouch” button and that’s on top of a generally less toxic culture in the first place.
