(Go ahead and downvote, but I think the tone in this answer is appropriate.) Yes, let's sprinkle magic fairy dust on threads to fix human foibles. Let's make sure there are no more meta-discussions, like people not being able to read the article for any reason. Let's also avoid any posts like "Hey, if you like the author you should check out X". Or, conversely, "Hey, this person is a known crank[1][2][3], don't bother reading." Or anything where a one-paragraph tl;dr could've easily replaced the entire article, and answering based on the tl;dr is completely reasonable. Or any of a host of other types of comments which I couldn't think of off the top of my head. Let's instead make sure everyone who wants to post needs to remember things from the article which are completely irrelevant to the actual content, and that they spend a few minutes trying to guess what the question means and which exact characters will appease the algorithm. Let's not. |
