Oh, this'll make things better (or not)... |
From the developers "about" page:
"Too long have we suffered in silence under the tyranny of idiocy. In
the beginning, the internet was a place where one could communicate
intelligently with similarly erudite people. Then, Eternal September hit
and we were lost in the noise. The advent of user-driven web content has
compounded the matter yet further, straining our tolerance to the
breaking point.
It's time to fight back.
The solution we're creating is simple: an open-source filter software
that can detect rampant stupidity in written English. This will be
accomplished with weighted Bayesian or similar analysis and some
rules-based processing, similar to spam detection engines. The primary
challenge inherent in our task is that stupidity is not a binary
distinction, but rather a matter of degree. To this end, we're
collecting a ranked corpus of stupid text, gleaned from user comments on
public websites and ranked on a five-point scale."
