-M: AD still needs administrators, some of which are general. They have to be selected somehow, and SD2 could be used.

No difference, therefore there is no comparison.
If you want to discuss HOW they are chosen, that is a separate issue.

-M: I am assuming that we are much more intelligent than the general

If you all can’t be worth-a-shit, how can we have high expectations of
the lemmings?
Again, quality filtering is needed.

-Ask Sokrates…
>Again, quality filtering is needed
-Not above basic moderators rules, if we speak of free speech. On the personal level, we have alreade agreed on filtering by differnet methods in order to limit the numer of issues to be bothered about. It could be page rank on proposals, selection by SD2 pageranked persons, AD-accumulated support, area of interest or other ideas.

-M:“…page rank on proposals, selection by SD2 pageranked persons…”
The only way to PageRank proposals is by PageRanking persons.

-What you obviously don’t get is what happened and why. See my other comment about Sokrates trial and why it isn’t relevant.: http://groups.google.com/group/top-politics/tree/browse_frm/thread/e941cafce40740d5/6e85cfdadae72ac0?rnum=71&done=%2Fgroup%2Ftop-politics%2Fbrowsefrm%2Fthread%2Fe941cafce40740d5%2Ffacc53f90e579376%3F#doc_facc53f90e579376

-M: No. It is people who create the links that Google sees. These links get PageRanked in the same way that votes get PageRanked. This is RD.

-mG: Anyway, there is no voting on persons going on in googles servers..Only on pages. And pages could be proposals as you know.
-M: Karl, page=person; link=vote.
These are equivencies.
And as I said before, ‘proposals can’t vote for each other’.
A person/page is needed to create a link/vote.
This means that vote/link by a page/person is a vote/link to a page/person.
