Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Three requests for Fabrice (new project lead)/reply (5)

Whilst it is certainly true that there is a crossover between reader and editor, and that editors are certainly allowed to use the AFT, editors are not the intended target for this tool. Jorm (Brandon) says so directly in the "gaming the system" thread: "I do not believe that there is any intention to integration with the current system of article assessment. Article assessment is done by people who are devoted to it or are (supposedly) subject-matter experts. This tool is aimed at readers." Whilst it's just a suggestion and certainly not necessarily the "only answer", turning the tool off (or collapsing it by default?) for logged-in users would enable the tool to be even more clearly targeted at readers without offending the editors who find it intrusive. This is similar to the "Mood Bar" tool which is only visible to people who have very recently created a user account - it is designed for a specific group and would be intrusive for others. And, just like the Mood Bar, the actual feedback it generates can be displayed elsewhere (e.g. talkpage) in a format designed to be of most benefit to those who use that place - the editors.
