Re:PG: What's your current take on reddit's comment system? on Thursday July 12, 2007 @07:49PM (#33934)
Lowtax (he runs somethingawful.com) gave a talk about web communities at UIUC a few years ago and he basically said without good moderation large sites will just degenerate into crap. The talk(http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/2005/video/UIUC-ACM-RP05-...) takes 15 minutes or so to get into anything serious, but I think there are some good lessons in there.
