Slashdot still has the best moderation system. I never understood why it didn’t become the norm.
You get x number of mod points per week/month. X is determined by how active you are on the platform.
You use those points to up/down vote stuff. And there’s a dropdown list of reasons for each.
Having a limited number of points means people use them only when appropriate. And the list of reasons insures the points aren’t just used as Likes or Disagree.
