You fix it with heavy-handed moderation that actively punishes curtly written content.
- redblacktree 13y agoThis is true. It works very well for reddit.com/r/AskHistorians. This is, by far, one of the highest-quality sub-reddits on the site, and it's because of active, heavy-handed moderation that enforces a strict rule set. (e.g. no speculation)
- archagon 13y agoSame for Metafilter (though the rule set is much less strict).
- roguecoder 13y agoThere's an interesting observation in the field of mechanism design that says when any ordering of preferences if possible (that is, it is possible for something like agent X thinks A>B>C and agent Y thinks A>C>B and agent Z thinks C>B>A to happen) the only "truthful" mechanism is dictatorial. Otherwise it is always possible to game the system by voting for outcomes you don't really like as much but you think more other people will like.
