> I wonder, what happens if, going a step further, there are different moderation teams working on the same comment stream, and readers could flip between them at will?
It already has that. :)
That is the whole point of moderation - you can choose who you want to be moderated by. (It’s on a per mod basis for now, though, but per mod team is a good idea. Thanks for the feature request!)
That's something that came to my mind as well. Probably there's something interesting following that path too — though for the time being I'm focused on getting the basics right first.
