As someone who was a pretty early Slashdot user -- apparently, my user number there is 3616 -- I think the meta-moderation mostly worked. That's not a universally shared opinion. :) But I thought that the discussion level was consistently decent throughout the 2000s, and I think the moderation system definitely helped there. On the other hand, the multiple layers of user moderation require at least a handful of users to be regular "comment gardeners," which probably requires a fairly large user base to be viable. (I drifted away sometime around when they were bought by Dice; I can't swear there's a causal connection, but it seemed to me the site kind of lost its mojo through the 2010s.) |
