SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
This is a topic that comes up all too often in comments, lambasting editors or praising them.
As it stands, editorial is a black box, they accept submissions, fettle them, then they appear as stories. Recently, the Original Submission link appeared on stories so you can see what went in and what appeared out of that black box, yet still the complaints come.
Just how much transparency is necessary? (This is an open question not rhetorical)
I like to believe that SoylentNews is the people that form it as a community, and the editing should reflect that.
Should we adopt some version control for subs so everyone can see who edited what through the pipeline that goes from sub to front page?
Thoughts on a postcard please.

^^ THIS is the reason for this META story and the reason that SN exists. SN isn't about top down dictat or foisting things on the community that they do not like, that's exactly why SN came into being as a certain subset of people fractured off from /. - enough was enough, we can do this better ourselves so let's do it, together. Here we are.
