I was confused not to see any pending comments after all the lead-up last week, and also wondering who was endorsing the new crop of one-line zingers.
Indeed, it turns out the full rollout didn't happen. Were there issues that occurred when pending comments were tried, or was it just decided to try this approach first?
If you actually read the comments on this thread, you'll find that pg stated the current behavior was actually his original plan: The pending mechanism is enabled by moderators on a per thread or per comment tree basis.
Do you intend your phrasing to be insulting? I did try to read the comments, and I'm sure I read all those by Paul. While this may have the been the 'original intent', there was obviously a late-in-the-game change of plan. Given all the theorizing as to how well an endorsement system would work, I'd be interested in knowing what was learned during the brief window that 'universal pending' was enabled.
Thank you for posting this. I have been wondering and I am very relieved to see this.
Thanks!
