Hire a team of well-paid moderators for a three-month high-effort experiment of responding to every bad comment with a fixed version of what a good comment making the same point would have looked like. Flood the site with training data.
If you can find me people capable of being these moderators, I will hire them. I think the number of people who have mastered the standards you propose and are also available is...smaller than I have been able to locate so far.
How you would test if someone fits the criteria? Can those people be trained?
I do in fact claim that I could do some combination of identify and train such people, and I claim that I am justified and credible in believing this about myself based on e.g. my experience helping CFAR train mentors and workshop instructors. I mention this somewhat-arrogant belief because Ruby highlighted me in his comment as someone who might be able to help on related matters.
Sorry, I think my comment came across as casting doubt on that, but my intention was to ask out of genuine curiosity and interest. I wonder how the process/test might look like.
Double sorry! I didn’t read you as casting doubt, and didn’t have defensive feelings while writing the above.
I do believe people can be trained, though I have a hard time boiling down either “how” or why I believe it.
As for how to test, I don’t have a ready answer, but if I develop one I’ll come back and note it here. (Especially if e.g. Ruby asks me for help and I actually deliver.)

Alright, thanks :)
(If anyone else has Ideas I’d be glad to hear them)
