bersl2's Journal: CmdrTaco has a lot of interesting things to say

He just finished giving a talk here at Tech. Some of the things I remember:

• 4 out of 5 things moderated Funny are not funny to Rob.
• More people should metamoderate.
• Yes, /. will soon spit out W3C-compliant HTML and CSS.
• Even though the current querying capabilities of the MySQL back-end database are limited, many things can be tracked. Soon, people with a significant history of accurate moderating will be placed in a class of "trusted moderators"; these people will be given many more moderator points.
• Adding moderation adjectives is a difficult process because most words are too loaded with unwanted connotations. However, Rob plans to give every current adjective an inverse for the purpose of metamoderation. For instance, if a moderation of Funny is issued, some metamods will also be asked if the comment is not funny.
• Bad grammar and spelling give /. a "folksy charm"(?).
• Listening to us complaining about dupes does not bother Rob.
• Rob likes the word "cock-gobbler".

More if I can remember.
