kcarlin's Journal: First Post Redundant

Metamoderating I could not help but notice an infrequent but bizarre misuse of the redundant rating as a kind of nearly-neutral dismissal, not as punitive as off-topic or troll, resulting in many first postings of a given point being moderated as "redundant". In today's exercise, the case in point was in the first dozen posts.

I suspect that, if the trend continues, we may soon see a first post moderated as redundant. If we haven't already.
