Well, even automatic Bayesian blocking would be much less clumsy than automatic IP blocking.
IP blocking is easy to keep track of and correct (so long as the lines of communication are kept open). But perhaps we'll develop a method of Bayesian blocking that has the same good properties -- the important thing is that humans have manual override.
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.
A Bayesian algorithm won't be hierarchical, but will it be complex? Again, the answer will depend on just what we come up with.
The benefits or harms of any particular technological method depend on the implementation.
Exactly. I look forward to your ideas, if you have any. (I don't have a clue about this myself ^_^.)
