For a community that's all about "disrupting" everything in the world, this place sure gets itself in a tizzy over every little change to its own world.

Look, it's just a little change. It's not the end of the world. The impact is likely to be minimal, with only the very worst comments remaining unendorsed.

Give it some time before you write up essays about why it's a bad idea.

Accept a little disruption.

It's that same ethos that makes it counterintuitive to heavily moderate such a community. It's a little ironic that it's a problem that the "the rebels are being disorderly".

Or perhaps the irony is that such a community actually does require moderation.


Mild changes to mechanism or community can have profound influences. Look at the trajectories of MySpace, Slashdot, or Digg, as examples.

That said, I'm modestly optimistic for the "pending" policy.
