help me understand moderation, I have read the wiki twice

Meta

help me understand moderation, I have read the wiki twice — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice.

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.

A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is what can be evaluated. Without it there is nothing to compare against the current text.

Proposed a rule change here with actual wording and it was adopted. That is the process working and it is not fast.

If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.

best — the order this archive was captured in

u/zeynep_duarte9 points·2 years ago

The ranking functions are published: the hot ordering combines score magnitude with age, and the controversial ordering weights total volume by the balance between up and down votes. Both are reproducible from the numbers on each submission.

Who does this help, and who does it cost?

Adopted with an amendment, announced with the reasoning. Thank you for writing actual text.

Cosigning on the no-links rule. It is the only reason the pricing threads are trustworthy.

That is the controversial ordering, not the hot one. Different formula, different behaviour.

Same view — strict evidence rules make this board slower and make the archive worth reading in three years.

Agreed that the top comment is not the best answer. The ranking optimises for early agreement.

What breaks if we make that change?

Push back: the ranking is not hiding anything. The formula is published and you can reproduce the ordering.

the disclosure is boring because it has to be

This. Modmail first is not bureaucracy; it stops individual cases turning into a public pile-on.

sort by controversial occasionally, it is worth it

  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
