What do you mean by "fail?"

How far in the future do you predict failure? (There is, you see, a significant difference between next year, next century, and when the universe collapses.)

Why will these moderation systems fail? You don't suggest causes, just properties. You could just as well say "any car with a round steering wheel will eventually need to be repaired." The statement may turn out to be true but truth alone doesn't make it profound. What about those cars in the shop because of engine trouble?

I think your 3 little rules are a bunch of second-rate pseudo-intellectual tripe. Well, either that or you're a troll. Probably both.

    I would agree with the first rule -- if "number" is meant to be "vote". In that case, we don't have numbers for persons, only for what they write. It is not possible on PerlMonks to vote on a person (which IMHO is a good thing).Yes, we do have XP, but about everybody knows that this does not reflect the competence of a person. Plus you can't change the XP value of another person directly.

    As for the second rule; we do not showcase the "lowliest monks", only the worst content.

    Which leads me to the conclusion that the future of PerlMonks actually looks rather bright :-)
