Correct, the biggest problem is introducing a single point of failure (such as
a sick moderator), dividing the load but not dividing the risks.
What makes multiple people suffer is the lack of communication between mods,
they approve and reject the same messages. Say, you have a way for mods to
communicate, the clear list thread followups to have better priority, etc...
As your filtering system goes more and more complicated, if the communication
between mods is not fast and effective enough, you find yourself in say,
Haifux-moderation mailing list, with huge traffic, where people sit and rate
the messages to go to Haifux list. Almost no improvement.
If you go with the alternative of some kind of web interface, where mods log
in and rate messages, you can instantly remove the ones already rated from
another mod's desk (let's face it, the probability of error is very small)
but you add the burden of running a more then full-blown webmail on your mail
server as well as forcing the moderators to use an interface you provide.
Ideas?
