**Meta-moderation** is a second level of [comment moderation](/source/Moderation_system). A user is invited to rate a [moderator](/source/Forum_moderator)'s decision by being shown a post that was moderated up or down and marking whether the moderator acted fairly. This is used to improve the quality of moderation.

[Slashdot](/source/Slashdot) and [Kuro5hin](/source/Kuro5hin) are two websites with meta-moderation. The [GameFAQs](/source/GameFAQs) message boards used to have it.
