Please also review our SoylentNews Moderation Guidelines.
As always, we are willing to make changes to the system, but please post examples *with* links to any cases of suspected mod abuse. It's a lot easier to justify changing the system when evidence is in black and white. I also recommend that users make serious proposals on changes we can make. I'm not going to color the discussion with my own opinions, but as always, I will respond inline with comments when this goes live, and post a follow up article a few days after this one

I agree. I could foresee problems in the future if the site gains orders of magnitude more traffic, but then the conversation could be reopened then.
Currently the largest issue I see is a lack of moderation, for each article very few comments make it beyond +2. Which is fine, given that the discussion is typically 30~50 comments long, and rarely degrades to the point that I am disappointed with the community.
