Eliezer, Robin Hanson, and matt of Tricycle (and maybe I’m forgetting someone) are Editors with a capital E and you can see this on their user pages under their names. They are omnipotent (although some exertions of this omnipotence are pending software upgrades). Me, Louie, and Vladimir Nesov are invisible, small-e editors. We have the powers of mods, plus we can edit other people’s top-level posts; the edits we make in this way are all recorded. Moderators are these folks, and can see and “ignore” reports on comments, and ban comments and posts (but not edit them) (but not users).
It’s interesting—but it’s definitely a personal post ie it’s about you personally, rather than being about something that the group, as a whole, might be interested in. That means that by posting this, you’re kinda using the site for your own personal reasons, rather than something to be shared with the group that actually uses this site.
For that reason, I would have put it on your own, personal website or blog instead… and I guess that’s been echoed by the others here that have voted this post down.
So, I’m glad you’ve removed it—not because it isn’t interesting, or most likely useful (to you)… just not something that goes here. :)
Wait, I can’t edit it, because I’m below the 20 points threshold required. Hrmm. Off to think of something intelligent to say elsewhere.
Edit: Fixed, given up, deleted. This belonged elsewhere.
If you tell me what you want to edit, I can go in and do it for you.
Out of curiousity, who all has edit access? I’d assumed Eliezer was the only admin, and could merely delete posts.
