Hacker News Moderates with Only One Person and Their Biases

There is a lot of community based moderation. It is not just Dang, though he is the primary admin and final decision maker, when it comes to his attention. He does not see everything.

That's the programming language upon which HN (and moderation tools?) is built, afaik

The Arc Forum looks eerily familiar:

That is actually very fascinating.

It seems to be a fairly high-performance approach.

You need more karma points to see the 'flag' button, even more to see the downvote button. 1000 of users can flag and downvote on Hackernews.

Yeah, I wonder why certain people are allowed to obtain that many points to begin with? Almost as if you "play by the book" on a website dedicated to, wait for it, NOT playing by the rules.
