Re: Re: Re: Seemingly-inappropriate reaping of nodes

That is how reaping has always worked. It only cares about the reputation of the post and the consideration status and pays no attention to the overall reputation or standing of the poster.

Are you suggesting that the author of a reaped node be given the chance to rephrase his post? That's an interesting idea, and I quite like it in some ways.

Giving the author a chance to rephrase the post allows for teaching and learning, not just rejecting. It also means the ongoing discussion of why the post was reaped could take place away from the rest of the on-topic posts. Sounds like heaven, to me ;) And if the node can't survive purgatory (say by getting voted out?), it gets reaped 'permanently.' Maybe along the lines of the "Nodes to Consider" line, there could be a "Nodes in Purgatory" area that holds reaped nodes authored by named monks (i.e. not Anonymous Monk)? --Solo -- Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance. (Chewie barks a question.) I don't know. Fly casual.	[reply]
