1 November 2002: Peer Moderation Pilot Project
The H2G2 Editors Started conversation Nov 1, 2002
We are no longer going to be post-moderating on h2g2.
BBC Editorial Policy are allowing us to switch to a system of reactive moderation. This system will be implemented within the next couple of weeks when the new version of DNA goes live.
Reactive moderation means that the Moderators will not read all of the content on h2g2. We've always trusted the Community to alert us to any content that breaks the House Rules via the complaints system and we'll be continuing with this informal arrangement.
The Moderators will read the complaints and will act accordingly. This differs from the current post-moderation system, where everything is read within one hour of posting.
This is the first time that BBCi have allowed this to happen on any of their community services, so this is a real tribute to you, the h2g2 Researchers. 
If you'd like to give us your thoughts on the Peer Moderation Pilot project please visit entry A864236, which has been set up on the Hub specifically to deal with your questions. Your feedback will be welcomed.

Sounds great. Does this mean that more time will be given to pre- beeb posts that need reading? Or have they all been done already?

I think this is a brilliant idea. It frees up staff for other things, and shows a lot of trust for those who post not to break the house rules.
Excellent idea!

Hi Roadkill,
The answer to this and many other questions can be found at A864236.
However, between you and me the legacy postings will all be made visible when the change to reactive moderation takes place.

Excellent news indeed!
Congrats and thanks to the eds for bringing Auntie Bee onside!
Thanks of course, Auntie B, for giving h2g2 the chance. 
Doesn't the community usually give events of this magnitude a name?
