This very site is the closest implementation I’ve seen to what he described in the article. Moderation actions that are still visible for those who opt in.

I personally opt in to see all the flagged/dead comments. I would say 1-5% of them are mysteries as to why they are dead (meaning they have been automatically killed, not killed due to other users flagging).

But then the ones that deserve to be killed/banned are so, so egregious.

It’s just unfortunate that there will always be innocent people that get roped in with automatic moderation.

I agree with you and thats why I’m very interested in a job opportunity that sells moderation as a service.

As a former die hard member of [R]age Board for the Elites, I remember the use of the N-word being so prolific a moderator changed it to display “ice cream” with no work around. Seeing a post suddenly pop up calling somebody a stupid ice cream was hilarious.

I was a teenager in the wild days and Chan doesn’t disturb me even, I just don’t go there. Borderland Beat is real enough.

As an adult I feel that the ban hammer is an absolute necessity.
