Rumor: Baidu Post Bar to Be Restructured
Sohu IT, 4/07/09
Robin Li, CEO of Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU), recently published a blog post discussing the selection of moderators on Baidu Post Bar, questioning whether moderators should be elected, and what selection criteria should be used during selection. Li stated that the largest proportion of user feedback he receives is concerning moderators. As Baidu Post Bar grows, so does the power of moderators, leading to various issues involving the quality of moderation, with some previous reports suggesting that moderators are accepting "protection money" for personal gain.
On April 1, Baidu announced that Yu Jun, company products president and founder of Baidu Post Bar, would leave his post in June for personal reasons, leading to speculation that Baidu Post Bar is undergoing restructuring.
Baidu Post Bar recently abandoned an updated site layout after negative response from its users.
