- Bayesian filtering of contributions
This is an intriguing idea. Where can we work on developing a filter that will be useful.
BTW, I trust that the purpose of this filter will be to highlight changes that may require human intervention -- not to block changes automatically by an algorithm.
Well, even automatic Bayesian blocking would be much less clumsy than automatic IP blocking.
But my goal is to come up with strategies that make problems get solved invisibly without crippling necessary flexibility--or adding layers of complexity and hierarchy.
The benefits or harms of any particular technological method depend on the implementation.
