three years of meta threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
Something I keep coming back to: three years of meta threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. Had a post removed, went to modmail, got a specific explanation and disagreed with it politely. It stayed removed and I understood why. Sorted by controversial for a week and found four of the best threads I have…
Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail rather than in threads, because a public discussion of one person’s removal is worse for that person than a private one.
Agreed. Publishing the ranking formula is the difference between a feed and a black box, and it costs nothing to do.
I would not archive earlier. The old threads are the most-searched thing on the site.
I would not archive earlier.
Agreed — concrete wording or it is not a proposal.
the ranking formula is published, go and read it
Agreed.
Disagreeing with this bit: making individual cases public by default is worse for the person being moderated.
no referral links, no affiliate links, not once
Careful — that would make individual moderation cases public by default, which is worse for the person complaining.
