Who here thinks the idea that was mentioned in the bombcast of a possible crowd moderation wiki is a good idea? I mean I don't mind moderations taking a few days if its going to be quality ones, but putting up the wikis for crowd moderation would be very bad in my opinion. It would completely undermine the entire moderation system and just plain suck. I mena considering how certian images tend to get approved when they are mislabeled and such, I cring to think the ffects wiki crowd moderation would have. What do you guys think?
Crowd moderation wiki
Thumbs Down
I would be inclined to agree with you. I think that Crowd moderation of Wiki information could be a horrible feature to add to Giant Bomb. It would stream line the process too much and make it so that low quality submissions could easily appear all around the site. I hope that it does not happen and I think that it would be the feature to really destroy the faith that many of the more driven posters have.
I personally don't think I would bother to post information anymore considering that I spend a long time finding certified information, while checking sources and performing multiple edits. If the Giant Bomb staff want this site to grow in a positive direction they will scrap the idea of doing crowd moderation.
I am willing to change my opinion however. The staff could implement a system that I myself can't foresee that would avoid any possible exploits or corruption of Giant Bomb.
I agree, that would suck. The image moderation is one thing, but bigger things than images, is too much...
Yeah definitely not a really great idea IMO.
A bunch of images that I posted that I was glitched into posting got accepted, which I wasnt really happy about; so like you said, who knows what would happen with a crowd mod system.
Personally, I think we should wait and see how everything plays out. But if its just a mirror of the image mod tool, it might not be a good idea. I think we're really doing great by cutting down the queue. And I have reason to believe that we are going to be able to reach the 24 hour turn around time by Monday. But I don't know what and how they're planning to do it.
