Surviving the /qa/ coaltalogue - Day 20

I'm impressed with the level of discussion and detail in these Hiro-approved meta threads. In the end, I’d say it’s given me an insight into the real issues being discussed. So thanks to all the people who have taken part.

After reading some of the responses to my suggestions, and after a lengthy formal peer review, it's become clear that there's no easy solution. The ideas I put forth may seem to make sense on paper, but, as has been pointed out, in practice they can become cumbersome and the cost could mount up. What struck me is the general lack of a willingness to discuss any other ways of achieving the same things. The point is to get people to talk and think about new ideas.

In an ideal world, people would also be willing to talk about ideas that are no so good - like /tech/ and /incel/ ( ev&doe there's an awful lot of support for those boards). In reality, I don't expect that many people will be able to get into detailed discussions about ideas that aren't fully fleshed out, or even be honest about what’s going to work and what isn't.

I would like the discussion to remain as focused as possible on the key issues that people actually have in mind when they visit a /qa/ thread.
