As a sister site, Overcoming Bias falls under the same logic (though I think, given that the origin of LessWrong in OvecomingBias constantly becomes more distant in time, I wouldn’t mind that rule getting relaxed for OvercomingBias more recent entries.)
We succeeded in getting rid of the Overcoming Bias ban for several months a couple of years ago. Unfortunately someone reverted to an old version and since then it’s stuck. Traditions are a nuisance to change.

If I make this post next month, I’ll get rid of the ban. Should that also mean Robin Hanson is fair game?
[Edit] I realized that waiting was silly since I made this month’s. It’s not clear to me whether or not Hanson quotes should be fair game, though; with the current policy, quoting gems from the comments (like NotEnoughBears’s quote) works but we shouldn’t get deluged by Hanson quotes.
