I see your point, Enrique Mar 19, 2009

After reviewing the the document describing the role of moderators, I can agree with you that moderators are not the best persons to judge if there are linguistic problems. In the case that I described it was a word with an opposite meaning that was chosen. But the problem still remain: wrong answers are continuously being added to glossary.

After reviewing the the document describing the role of moderators, I can agree with you that moderators are not the best persons to judge if there are linguistic problems. In the case that I described it was a word with an opposite meaning that was chosen. But the problem still remain: wrong answers are continuously being added to glossary.

As Mike (de Oliveira) Brady wrote:
"I quite often see people telling the asker they have selected the wrong answer. I think these checks are sufficient safeguard. While askers sometimes select a wrong answer, I've also seen wrong answers have most peer support."

And since the system has no tools to fix these problems it seems it is asking to be improved.

P.S.I also contacted a moderator to resolve what I would think would be considered a wrongdoing, which was a violation of rule 1.2 of KudoZ site rules, as somebody was being rude and making crude personal remarks. It was two weeks ago and I still have not received so much as a response. ▲ Collapse

To me, this must be the MAIN parameter to sort Kudoz users. Then, as a secondary parameter, we could filter users according to their Kudoz.

Kind regards!
