The introducing part would only work for 5 min, then all the newbies and trolls and well meaning but crazy people would ruin it. Just like what happened to the IRC room.
I don’t mean to stray offtopic too far, but the IRC room is actually pretty good. There have been two or three trolls but they haven’t stuck around for more than a few days.
They might have left due to moderation, but if so I wasn’t around to see it. If it was then I’d say that’s a point in favor of non-LW.com things doing alright with vigilant moderation.
It might have changed since I were there but the prior probability off somehting in that reference class improving is VERY low. There are an at least several weeks long period where it was a cesspool winch cased me to quit.
Right; I actually retracted that once it was pointed out that the forum had already attracted a troll and I started thinking about it. I probably should have just edited it down to nothing… I sort of miss the delete button.
First part? that’s basically the idea yea.
