Reddit, the “id” of the Internet, announces a new policy against the harassment that made it what it is today. There’s an irony behind the Reddit harrassment policy that won’t be lost on anyone who has ever had to deal with the service.

A number of years ago, I wrote (somewhere) that the Internet Model was fatally flawed in that, in order to have legitimacy (for news sources) a group of editors would have to be involved.

If you’re going to weed out the lunatics, you’re gonna have to pay people to be there every day, doing the job.
