The fact is: people don't use it as much as they should. I am using good keywords to really evaluate the relevance to a forum, actually, the whole concept took in account the fact a thread can be posted in a given forum but relevant to another (if I post a thread in dhtml regarding Java, it would be better in the s-side archive). So yes, your idea could work, but in reality, it didn't. Probably didn't catch up. My proposal has this advantage: once it is finely tuned, it does 90% of the archival alone and when it finds threads with an ambiguous classification, asks for more keywords or more info about a poster to be able to better classify in the future. This would leave the following tasks to real world mods: moderating, eg. closing threads and moving relevant threads to the archive where they belong. Furthermore, the bot would "actively" ask for the tiny-winy bit of advice it needs when it needs it, and only then. Of course, if we consider threads already "are" in the forum where they should be archived, my duty becomes a lot smaller, but I think it would be wrong... the more I think about it, the less it makes sense: why not automatically archiving EVERYTHING to the relevant archive then? Because some threads ARE ambiguous and not everything is interesting. Better make the engine really "guess" the relevance instead of forcing it a bit. ------------------------------------ The goal here is making it clever enough for it to leverage 90% of the human mods duty, and it can be done if we are sure it only archives what clearly belongs to one archive or another. Spotting threads that are poorly classified and reporting to me is a great thing to do: they "show" they keywords I need to balance in plain english. For instance, I have found that the keyword "new" is very good for identyfying threads worthy of archival, but terrible when it comes to identyfying the forum of a thread, because we have "new" anything everyday. Useless keywords, poorly chosen, also tend to reduce the whole relevance score of a given forum: spotting them immediately improves relevance selection for a forum. So, three things: 1) I really think the mod-bot should be as intelligent as possible, as opposed to systematic, it should "guess", and the information of originating forum could be useless, or too much of a constraint. 2) A sticky label saying "archive this" would not do the job, as it still would require human mods to select threads to archive, still. 3) Please report threads that don't seem well classified in the above links. And feel free to question what already exists: since I have something in my hands, it's easy to make and quickly test assumptions and hypothesis, now. Loading...
