Re: [Bug-gnupedia] A system of moderation

[Tom Chance]

I disagree. Classification is to classify what subject
the article comes under (like the front page of Yahoo
is classified, or classified ads are classified).
There should be no bias coming from the review body.
They will themselves be biased (don't even try and say
they won't!) and so will affect the "focus" of the
resource. Articles should be judged by each individual
reader themselves, not by a group who created the
place. Any user reviews should be posted at the
bottom, and not shown on the search page. We're
getting back into that old marginal argument about
Tianemen Square and the light bulb!
