better or worse than you expected -- and if so, in what ways?
This is messier than I expected it to be. I'm surprised by how much everyone differs in their confidence of exactly what The Problem is.
- Are you comfortable with this discusson being mostly unmoderated,
or would you prefer that we had some simple behavioural rules-of-engagement?
I would prefer moderation, but I'd settle for some rules if they're actually enforced. This free-for-all sort of atmosphere where people are shooting each other's posts and opinions down is reminding me a little too strongly of some article talk pages that I've chosen not to participate in. Dismissing someone's concerns because you haven't experienced them, for example, ought not to be considered cool.
Should we discuss such problems or should such posts have been rejected by a moderator or the poster warned and required to revise their post?
I have high toleration for disorder, but have found lately that wholesale deletion has been useful when I get behind. The conversations here have not been substantial or focused enough to command sustained attention.
