- dang 12y agoOh my hot-headed, un-Bayesian friends: do you really think we'd be so dumb as to ban people for criticizing Dropbox and Rice after just saying we don't do that? That would be the I Do Not Freebase Cocaine of website moderation [1]. Comments posted from Tor IP addresses by new accounts are killed automatically [2] because of past abuses by trolls. Moderators unkill these when we see them and mark the accounts legit when they're not obviously trolling. I just did that here, even though "Sounds like Condi didn't need much time" is pretty far from a quality comment. Before you seamlessly segue into outrage at that instead, may I mention that we've got a sweet idea for dumping that practice and a truckload of others in a grand devolution of moderation powers to the community. Maybe one day we'll even get to implement it, instead of typing the same comments over and over. Lord and NSA knows it'd be one ginormous headache off our hands. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ckIv1tiaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ckIv1tiaU 2. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=noob+tor#!/comment/sort_by_date/prefix/0/comments%20from%20new%20accounts%20tor https://hn.algolia.com/?q=noob+tor#!/comment/sort_by_date/pr...
- vdaniuk 12y agoNope, I didn't think that you are dumb at all. However, I believe that you have a clear cut conflict of interest that you may not be able to mitigate no matter how hard you try. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_beware_conflicts_of_interest http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_beware_conflicts_of_inte... Also it would be really cool to add [tor noob] fair describing a hellban reason.
