The GELATO, consisting of a jury of OLO users, none of whom are under any disciplinary disabilities imposed by OLO for breach of Forum rules or etiquette, and chosen at random, confer in a private chat room to which they have been given temporary access by OLO for the purpose of making a determination in respect of a particular case of claimed inconsistency of literary style.
The making of such a finding may require of jurors collectively that they concentrate together upon the issue at hand. Almost as if they were attending an electronic digital virtual conference, or camp. A concentration camp, if you will. There, quicker than you could say 'Treblinka', a determination could be arrived at classifying a particular OLO userID as in fact representing an organisation, rather than as simply being a natural person or clever digital android construct operated consistently by the one human intelligence.
A userID once classified as being 'organisational' in nature could then be treated differently by OLO with respect to posting entitlements as compared to mono-dimensional rule-abiding registered OLO users. A little icon could henceforth accompany the userID of such organisationally-classified OLO user such that other mono-dimensional users could know that they could effectively not know with whom they might be debating should they decide to enter the lists: perhaps that icon could be a little yellow star, or something.
A so-classified 'organisational' user could, for example, be restricted to posting only within the General Discussion area of the Forum, and then only upon topics submitted by themselves subject to the normal OLO topic approval processes.
By adopting such an approach, OLO could go a long way toward 'icing' thread-hijacking, and 'creaming' would-be ideologues attempting to pole upon the status of the Forum in their quest for fame. Who knows, the standard of discussion on OLO might improve dramatically, the boredom index decline, and a thousand electronic-paper flowers bloom!
GELATO. Keeping things cool, and OLO free for ideas!
Serving on the GELATO. Doing your levelling best for mass debating, with style.
