I really appreciate the SO team in bringing this up and considering this as a priority issue. Many people have been the "third group" as mentioned by "sigstoat" above, just because of the hostility.

I hope something good comes out of this effort from the SO team.

However, I just hope that this effort to be lenient though doesn't lead this site from being a fairly reliable site for learning purpose, to becoming "Quora 2.0". i.e far too many duplicates and far too many low-quality questions, that it actually drives away the current expert crowd away from the site.
