Yes, it would still be a problem if the DFSG team decided to spam all uploaders to NEW queue with content noone could be held accountable for. No, it would not be the same kind of problem, because there is less tension in using deterministic tools rather than probabilistic ones, partly because there is some degree of accountability in such tools (assuming they are not only deterministic but also DFSG-free) and partly because - as we have seen in the preparation of a ballot list for the recent GR vote - there are multiple dimensions involved in some probabilistic tools (including the one used here) that are difficult to keep apart¹. - Jonas ¹ I am guilty of messing up at least one distinction between reducing energy consumption and favoring green energy. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
