I’m not sure why this is a top level post. Are we supposed to critique this? Are we supposed to come up with our own version? What are we supposed to take away from this?
I’m just leaving it here to link to people if I need to, as I expect to. I’m allowed to do that, right?
Um, I guess technically you’re allowed to. I take that to mean you aren’t even particularly concerned with it being useful to the LW community though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people down-vote it a lot (and every vote on in the main section counts as +/- 10 karma points so you’ll lose some of your privileges pretty quick and it will take a while to get them back).
Personally I would suggest you delete this and put it in the discussion section instead, possibly focusing on making it open to suggestions so that it can become more useful to other people in the community. Then you might do a top level post if it turns out.
Eliezer, Robin Hanson, and matt of Tricycle (and maybe I’m forgetting someone) are Editors with a capital E and you can see this on their user pages under their names. They are omnipotent (although some exertions of this omnipotence are pending software upgrades). Me, Louie, and Vladimir Nesov are invisible, small-e editors. We have the powers of mods, plus we can edit other people’s top-level posts; the edits we make in this way are all recorded. Moderators are these folks, and can see and “ignore” reports on comments, and ban comments and posts (but not edit them) (but not users).
It’s interesting—but it’s definitely a personal post ie it’s about you personally, rather than being about something that the group, as a whole, might be interested in. That means that by posting this, you’re kinda using the site for your own personal reasons, rather than something to be shared with the group that actually uses this site.
For that reason, I would have put it on your own, personal website or blog instead… and I guess that’s been echoed by the others here that have voted this post down.
So, I’m glad you’ve removed it—not because it isn’t interesting, or most likely useful (to you)… just not something that goes here. :)

Also, it does have some relevance to the morals of Less Wrong. I’ll edit it with a foreword to make it clearer.

Wait, I can’t edit it, because I’m below the 20 points threshold required. Hrmm. Off to think of something intelligent to say elsewhere.
Edit: Fixed, given up, deleted. This belonged elsewhere.
If you tell me what you want to edit, I can go in and do it for you.
Out of curiousity, who all has edit access? I’d assumed Eliezer was the only admin, and could merely delete posts.
