I think permission would be beneficial because I sense that people are hesitant to go against the norms.

Heh. Who, do you think, should be the one to give you the permission? :-) And how do you feel about permission culture in general? X-D

Besides, I don’t think there are any strong existing norms about putting brainstorming posts into the open thread.

  Some sort of site guidelines and a UI that makes it clear. For example, if there were categories, it would be clear that the posts in the category are acceptable.
  
  I’m far from a conformist, but I think norms definitely do have a purpose. I don’t really have any strong opinions on permission culture in general that I could articulate well.
