Does much curation actually happen, where members of the forum choose to promote comments and posts to AF? I’ve occasionally done this for comments and never for posts (other than my own), though I do sometimes hit the “suggest for AF” button on a post I think should be there but am not so confident as to make a unilateral decision. So I was surprised by your comments about curation because I don’t much think of that as an activity AF forum members perform.
As far as I can tell the actual level of curation by different members is very heavy-tailed. So a few users do almost all of it, most users do very little. Though since every member has the potential to do a lot of promoting comments and moving posts, it’s still a bar to be careful with.
