Maybe I should make a blog and just ask people if they want to be a moderator and, barring any consensus, just make them it if they don't have any severe vandalism issues of their own. Sounds like a good "experiment".

Also, again, if you don't know what you're talking about don't talk. I didn't make this experiment because we were "overwhelmed," I made it because it's interesting how little people actually give a fuck about comments. 5431 people voted over a 4 day period, we've had 1,743,200 views in those 4 days. The people who care about comments are in the extreme minority to the silent majority. That is about .3% of people who care enough about comments to voice their opinion, even through a simple voting system. If I wanted to include that we would never get comments back. Why the fuck should I care about .3% of our viewer-base? This wiki is and always will be a place for information, regardless of what less than .3% of our viewer-base thinks. Comments, why should I moderate them or even bring in new moderators just for them? They're nothing more than sprinkles on the top of a cake I call this wiki, they don't even qualify as icing.
