Usenet was superior. A place for everything and everything in it's place.

News aggregators > social media.

Bestest moderation IMHO is on Slashdot.

Slashdot Moderation
Slashdot Moderation last updated 9.9.99 by CmdrTaco This document will attempt to explain the moderation system that lies underneath Slashdot's vast comment section. It will try to explain some of the history of the system, as well as how it works (or doesn't work) from both the perspective of the user, and the moderator. It is always in flux. Why

Slashdot's Meta Moderation - Slashdot
Slashdot's Meta Moderation 284 Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday September 07, 1999 @02:31PM from the making-the-net-a-better-place dept. So its ready for testing on The Meta Moderation Page. Essentially eligible users are presented with 10 comments the moderation done to them. They are then asked to rate the moderation as Fair, or Unfair.

What are thresholds?
Your "threshold" is the minimum score of the comments displayed to you. Comments are scored from -1 to 5, and you can set your threshold to any score within that range. If you set your threshold to 2, only comments rated 2 or above would be displayed. Setting your threshold at -1 will display all comments. 0 is almost all comments. Higher threshold settings reduce the number of comments you see, but (in theory, anyway) increase the quality of the posts you see.

How do I change thresholds?
A widget attached to each story's comments contains two sliders; these allow you to control the score threshold at which comments are displayed. You can drag and drop them and adjust your preferences to find the balance of score and comment text you want.
Anything like this on social media? I wouldn't know.
