Anyone else think LW is over-moderated?
Edit: The cost of excess moderation is an invisible cost, in the form of people not posting interesting/useful stuff because they're too intimidated. There's no good place for most Overcoming Bias-style blog posts here anymore, for instance, and I see that as a byproduct of excessive moderation (and the fact that there's no good middle ground between Discussion/Main).

Not me. I think the moderation here is working as it should.

I think that's a good thing, for reasons that are confirmed every time I look at the New On OB sidebar.
Overcoming Bias: Was Intrade being manipulated in the last month?
The link is good apropos, but the question that interests me is a bit more general. It seems to me that the apparent failure of Intrade to function as a predictor/knowledge aggregator before the US presidential elections was an important natural experiment. What do you think about the explanations and implications? I don't think it's too hard to discuss the knowledge aggregation issues without being bogged down in the specificities of US politics.
