unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about moderation is guesswork

Appeal Receipts ×2 Cold Box ×3

unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about moderation is guesswork. I have gone back and forth on this for months.

Read the ranking formula out of scepticism and reproduced the ordering in a spreadsheet. It does what it says.

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.

That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.

Vendor source pages carry an outbound link to the supplier’s own storefront, marked nofollow and sponsored, disclosed on the page and again on the funding page. Nothing is received for it.

Feed position is a function of early votes and time. That structurally favours agreeable early answers over correct late ones, which is why sorting by controversial occasionally is worth the effort.

Careful — that would make individual moderation cases public by default, which is worse for the person complaining.
