    <DD>To some extend, yes.  Credit where credit is due: we borrowed many ideas (like the interface and moderation) from <A HREF=\"http://slashdot.org/\">slashdot.org</A> and <A HREF=\"http://kuro5hin.org/\">kuro5hin.org</A> because they have many good ideas about discussion forums.  We do not use their code or any permutation thereof as $site_name has been written entirely from scratch.  Our goal was to create a similar base initially, and to go from there and to transform $site_name into something different by adding new and unique features.<P></DD>

-   <DD>To help individuals and communities address the challenges of information overload.<P>As each new piece of information competes for attention, people quickly tend to become overwhelmed and seek assistance in identifying the most interesting, worthwhile, valuable or enteraining items.  Not to mention the fact, reader-contributed content and other levels of interactivity tend to become chaotic, bloated and disreputable.<P>Therefore, we decided to develop a public system powered by a community that aims to bring quality content to everyone's attention and to filter out all junk: to <I>sort the wheat from the chaff</I>.  The output should be something clean and homogenized featuring quality content, and should slide down the gullet far more easily.  Another objective is to provide a customized service according to public and individual preferences, whether expressed or inferred.<P>Yes, you are right.  It all sounds a bit idealistic, not to mention hypothetical.  However, don't get this wrong: this isn't a new concept, various such systems exist nowadays (like <A HREF=\"http://slashdot.org/\">slashdot.org</A> or <A HREF=\"http://www.kuro5hin.org/\">kuro5hin.org</A>).  We just happen to want our own system.<P>Last but not least we, the $site_name team, don't want the responsibility to manually review each post and to select the ones worthy.  Systematic editing by individual editors is nice and dandy, if you get paid for it or if you have some time to kill.

    <DT><B>How does submission moderation work?</B></DT>
-   <DD>Anyone who happens by, and has some news or some thoughts they'd like to share, can submit new content for consideration.  After someone has submitted something, their story is added to a queue.  All registered users can access this list of pending stories, that is, stories that have been submitted, but do not yet appear on the public front page. Those registered users can vote whether they think the story should be posted or not. When enough people vote to post a story, the story is pushed over the threshold and up it goes on the public page. On the other hand, when too many people voted to drop a story, the story will get trashed.<P></DD>

    <DT><B>How does comment moderation work?</B></DT>
-   <DD>If you create an account and log in, you will be able to moderate comments.  This lets you assign a score to a comment on how good you think the comment was or how visible you think it should be.  When more then one person rates a comment, the overall rating is just a simple average of all ratings.  Comments with a high ratings are more visible then comments with a lower rating.  Like that, comments that gain the approbation of participants will gradually move up through statistical effects and pointless comments will sink into oblivion.<P>Hence, the purpose of comment moderation is two-fold: <UL><LI>To bring the really good comments to everyone's attention.</LI><LI>To hide or get get rid of spam, flamebait and trolls.</LI></UL>In the latter, comment moderation provides a technical solution to a social problem.<P></DD>

-   <DD>No $site_name participant can use his own name or handle to post comments until they sign up and submit their e-mail address.  Those who do not may participate as `$anonymous', but they will suffer numerous disadvantages, not the least that their posts begin at a lower score.<P>In contrast, those with a user account can use their own name or handle and are granted various priveleges: the most important is probably the ability to moderate new submissions and to rate comments.  Also, registered users can tune the site to their personal needs.  For instance: they can select one of the available themes to alter the look-and-feel of the site or they can fine-tune the values of various settings to their likings.<P></DD>

    <DT><B>How reliable are the stories and comments?</B></DT>
    <DD>There is one big problem with user-contributed news and comments: `reliability and quality'.<P>The stories are not likely to suffer from this problem as they tend to provide links to other sites that are reputable and have dependable information that can be trusted.  The problem with reliability is probably in the comments people post.  Sometimes they are helpful, accurate, and even amusing, but other times they are not.  Comments stand out as a good idea and can really make a story considerably better, but we have to face the facts.  Not all comments add value to a discussion: some are redundant, off-topic or even completly fake.<P>We try to address this problem by experimenting with trust metrics, moderation and collaborative filtering.
