I’m not seeing quite what experimenting there actually is to do. Linking to Omnilibrium from LW open threads is not currently forbidden, nor can I see any particular reason why it would be discouraged, providing the thing linked to was actually interesting enough to be worth posting in an open thread. For that matter, even overt political discussion on LW isn’t that heavily discouraged in practice.
What are you proposing would happen differently depending on the outcome of this vote, and how will the outcome of the vote lead to it actually happening?
(E.g., the answer to the first question might be: If “yes” votes predominate, people won’t get downvoted for posting links to Omnilibrium discussions in the open threads. -- But I’m not sure they would anyway, poll or no poll, and in any case if someone’s inclined to downvote such links are they really going to not do so because of this poll?)

OK, poll deleted. I wasn’t quite sure if a poll was appropriate anyway… your comment tipped me over the edge.
