I would like a comment system that lets me choose my own moderators either directly or indirectly based on comments that i upvote. Then, if enough of my moderators downvote a comment, i wouldn't see it.
- therealdrag0 12y agoInteresting idea. But, echo-chamber much?
- WorldWideWayne 12y agoPossibly, but I think it would be easy to engineer solutions to make an echo-chamber less likely. I would still be in control and able to see hidden comments like reddit where the hive-mind basically censors things but still allows them to be accessed if you dig. I guess that I just want something where I have a little more control as a user. Many times on reddit there is a huge thread of jokes or puns that is totally off-topic and I'd like to avoid them if I choose to. Many times I want zero moderation so I can see what everybody is saying without having to click "load more comments" on every sub-thread. I can think of lots of variations on the basic idea of picking your own moderators. I like the idea of untying a subject from a specific set of moderators. So a sub-reddit would just be a subject, but not a set of moderators. There could be a moderator marketplace where individuals or teams of moderators who advertise their style and specify things like no-jokes, no-puns, etc. There could be robot moderators as well. I would also like to give my team of personal comment-curators more controls than just up and down-vote like tagging or like the slashdot system where you could mark things as funny/off-topic/etc. (Crowd voting is a type of moderation too and I'd like to be able to ignore them because I don't always trust the alleged majority.)
