rules

proposal — a flair for moderation posts. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Funding and links, in full, because the question deserves a…

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…

why does nobody talk about wiki — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail rather than in…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: how much of what we believe about moderation actually comes from wiki threads. Checked the sponsor disclosure because I…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: the rules advice in here is 2 years out of date. To save the first four comments: 2 years. How a rule actually changes…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: can we stop arguing about ranking until somebody posts a number. Checked the sponsor disclosure because I assumed it would…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: can we stop arguing about rules until somebody posts a number. What the ranking does, in case you assume it is hiding…

three years of ranking threads, summarised so you do not have to read them — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Submissions older than a year…

reading meta threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. Sorted by controversial for a week and…

The title is the argument: the wiki thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Here is the rest of it. Edited a wiki page for the first time and nothing…

help me understand meta, I have read the wiki twice, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. How a rule actually changes…

The title is the argument: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about ranking is guesswork. Here is the rest of it. The ranking functions are published: the…

Thinking out loud about this: moderation — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right. Sorted by controversial for a week and found four of the best threads I have…

Something I keep coming back to: wiki — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right. The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document, a date or a named…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: disclosure — 16 things I got wrong before I got it right. Submissions older than a year are archived: readable,…

the moderation rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Funding and links, in full,…

what changed in the import rules this year. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Posted a question here with my address in…

does wiki actually matter or is it forum lore at this point — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Sorted by controversial for a week and…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: how much of what we believe about rules actually comes from wiki threads. Had a post removed, went to modmail, got a…

the moderation advice in here is 3 years out of date, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. Hard numbers: 3 years. Anything softer than that is flagged…

someone explain moderation to me like I have not read a paper in years — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Funding and links, in full,…

Thinking out loud about this: we are measuring moderation at the wrong time and calling it noise. Funding and links, in full, because the question deserves a straight…

meta — what am I missing here. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Complained about a rule without proposing anything and…
