Forgive me for coming back to the first issue, I might be too used to the "one topic per thread" rule and refuse the idea that the robot could put messages that advantage him, but as I do have an unclosed question I take it and look at it in the 3 different designs:
I first tried loging out, but it doesn't work, because I'm not recognized as the asker, so, after loging in I first look in the "Beta test New Design"; the messages I get are
* Answers in summary are ordered by confidence plus net agreement (shown in left column).
None of these answers are appropriate; do not remind me to select one
under each question I see:
Select this answer as most helpful - Note to answerer
In the oldest design I see
- Choose a winner (Asker only)

If I read the FAQ, point 6.4 about open questions I see
4. What happens if a question isn't graded?
If a question has received answers but not been closed within three days, email is sent to the asker reminding him or her to grade. If the question remains open after four such reminders have been sent (over 2 weeks), an attempt is made to select the best answer automatically. An 'autograding robot' makes its selection based on the net number of peer 'agrees' received by each answer, according to the following rules:
- To be considered, an answer must have at least two "net agrees" (agrees-disagrees).
- The answer with the highest number of net agrees is selected.rn- If two answers have the same number of net agrees, the first* one entered is selected. (* Note: starting June 17, 2004, the robot was changed so that the *last* among answers with equal net agrees is selected. The idea is that if two answers gather the same number of net agrees, the one that did so in a shorter period of time may be better.)
If no answer has at least 2 net agrees, it remains open.
These are the instructions the robot has.
Muriel, please don't take offence, but I think that the message you refer to doesn't exist, however raising the issue about people who use the peeragreements to decide to whom they give the points is valid.
Answer to Deborah about moderators in pairs with Portuguese:
There will soon some decisions taken about this matter. If you already suggested names they should be in a list that staff already has, if you have suggestions you can send them now to staff (as Support Requests).

I, too, had never seen this message before. I found it by a fluke, as I explained above. Maybe the Robot put it there! To find it, I think, you would have to take a question you had asked that was still pending (I have none pending), copy the URL, and then open a new link to the Internet and search for that URL. Failing that, I guess there's no way to see it. I'm going to post a question and see if I can capture it again.
Seeing the message was a shocker for me and prompted me to raise the larger issue.
