3. Bayesian
filtering of contributions
This is an intriguing idea.
Where can we work on developing a filter that will be useful.
BTW, I trust that the purpose of this filter will be
to highlight changes that may require human intervention --
not to block changes automatically by an algorithm.
Well, even automatic Bayesian blocking would be much less clumsy than
automatic IP blocking.
But my goal is to come up with strategies that make problems get solved
invisibly without crippling necessary flexibility--or adding layers of
complexity and hierarchy.
The benefits or harms of any particular technological method depend on the
implementation.
