Jul 24, 2023 at 16:03 comment added Journeyman Geek Mod PLDI went through a normal, fairly boring early beta didn't it- the process is kind of meant to handle growing pains like scope and moderation. While the infrastructure is creaky, it's a well tested system for standing up new sites
Jul 24, 2023 at 13:28 comment added D. Ben Knoble @NoDataDumpNoContribution I'm not sure if/what PLDI did differently, and it's still early enough that maybe I've extrapolated too much from what's available. Your sandwiched idea ("a focus on quantity doesn't mean that quality is really bad") is well-received :) Perhaps I reacted a bit harshly in assuming you meant to draw a stronger contrast than you did.
Jul 24, 2023 at 6:07 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution @D.BenKnoble That was my impression with a few betas. But let me add that a focus on quantity doesn't mean that quality is really bad. Only that over time more things get closed or downvoted that were still accepted in the beginning. PLDI did it differently? How did they develop and grow?
Jul 24, 2023 at 6:04 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution @Laurel I don't use chat much, so I don't have much experience with trolling there. One could insulate the rest of the network chat system too from votes obtained on that site by not counting then toward that privilege.
Jul 23, 2023 at 21:12 comment added Laurel What about chat? You only need two ill-gotten votes from GenAI to be able to troll almost the entire network's chat system (I've seen it happen several times this year, even without the software making it trivial).
Jul 23, 2023 at 21:11 comment added D. Ben Knoble Interesting. What I’ve observed only haphazardly on PLDI is that, even in Beta, the focus is on quality.
