	+ ------ + ''2008-12-15 11:03:51'' [[nbsp]] At the December contributors' meeting we discussed this page, and we agreed that the alleged shill comments should go. Everyone approved of the addition of the shilling definition to ["wiki community/offenses"], so we will use that from now on. We generally agreed that the application of common sense can be used in absence of a formalized policy --["Users/EastSideStephen"]

The tone of the question also makes me think it may be the same person. Everyone else wants to work it out, he wants to edit more. Of course I could be wrong... --["Users/BadFish"]

When that was reverted, John seemed to sign up as DavidMcArthur and edited it again. "John" left the comment and any efforts to revert it to make it look like DavidMcArthur did will of course be reverted. Mods -- could you lock the Sanibel page? --["Users/BadFish"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-12-02 17:04:53'' [[nbsp]] Marc, here is my problem with the "let the users decide for themselves" attitude: + + If we take this position, we open the door for more shills. Eventually, there will be a poor "signal to noise ratio" on the wiki, and users will have to do a lot of deciding for themselves. This is a larger hurdle than we might think for new users. While you and I have been here a while, and we can discern these things, new users haven't necessarily attained that skill. Therefore, it is up to us, the experienced users, to act as a filter. In the name of fairness, we have to let controversial things go, but we need can think of ourselves as a SPAM filter, with a variable setting. We cna set our "filter" to something like 95% and catch junk like what is on this page. Sure, it will very rarely pick up a valid comment, but that's a small price to pay for the amount of good it does. + + The "let the users decide" argument sounds a lot like the argument creationists use for teaching creationism in the classroom: "Let's teach both and let the children decide". Sure, this sounds all well and good at first, but we need to realize that there is significant negative value in having to sift through bad information. We also need to realize that not everyone has the ability to discern good information from bad. --["Users/EastSideStephen"]

I like eater.com's way of addressing this on food sites like yelp. They have a shill-meter. Unless there's been a change in management at this establishment, I think most RocWiki users will be able to judge for themselves what is a shill and what isn't. --["Users/MarcVera"]
