So how would you "grade" this one?
I see it as a big contribution to the theme group and not at all a flog. Eric,
I think, sees it rather more like pure flog with little or no redeeming value.
Some specific guidance from you, since you're the one and only enforcer of
rules, might be helpful. That's not to say that the general principles you
enumerate aren't useful, but the problem with subjective gradients is, of
course, that they are subjective. We need more data points on your thresholds,
perhaps.
To Eric: One thing I gleaned from your replies to Jude (and I agree with you,
thrash this out, it's good to discuss, even if you happen to be wrong about the
issue itself :-) ) is that the order that stuff was posted was part of the
problem?
Had it been posted in the other order (to pirates first, then to
marketplace) it would have been OK?
That seems unsupportable. The order posted and the order read have only a weak
correlation.
