[IMC-NYC-Editorial] Can we change the visible threshold to "zero"

[Jed Brandt]

John --

With constant moderation, as is not the case, stories that are real could be
uprated to 3 or 5 to avoid the lone nut factor.

Now, posts are routinely uprated to 3 by those who post them meaning that 10
regular folks or five editors would need to downrate to get it off the wire
That is happening, but changing the number would make it much easier.

By the way, I need to help my grandmama today. I¹ll be back by the office in
the afternoon to go over the pages.

Either way with the moderation,

Jed
