chamilto0516's Journal: Slashdot has fascinated me

In the last month I have meta-moderated about a half dozen times and have even been given 5 moderator points. Until I saw it in action, I never would have understood the brilliance in this collective quality effort/program. You are basically having a group bring the quality of something they depend upon without an army of central authority. I remember my former consulting employeer's knowledge base always had poor quality because a small staff was responsible for the whole things content. They often didn't know how to classify information correctly because they didn't know the subject matter. You have solved that problem (not for them, they don't have slashcode...they do have Lotus Notes but I guess they have bigger fish to fry).

I'm thinking of using such a technique to build an RFI/RFP question bank up and running and force users of the system to moderate and meta-moderate often. Hmmm...can I do this? Did you patent this concept?

Slashdot, my hat is off to you.
