here’s the “fun game” element: Moderators and Tier 1 commenters can “promote” Tier 2 commenters to Tier 1 if the Tier 2 posters are bringing good game. “However!,” Hortense writes, “We can also ‘unstar’ people, knocking them back down to Tier 2, which is typically a warning that the commenter has been breaking the rules and abusing their Tier 1 powers. ...

Better living through categorizing my acquaintances! Then again, most of my social circles have at least one Facebook holdout—which is partly what Zuckerberg is banking on.
