I would suggest one modification : a “probation” period for contents, changing the rule “Content ratings above 2 never go down, except to 0; they only go up.” to “Once a content staid for long enough (two days? one week?) at level 2 or above, it can never go down, only up” to make the system less vulnerable to the order in which content gets rated.
That makes sense. I’d like people to know when what they’re seeing is out of probation, so I’d rather say that even if you have set the slider to 4, you might still see some 3-rated comments that are expected to go to 4 later, and they’ll be marked as such, but that’s just a different way of saying the same thing.
Interesting proposal.
