Broadly I’m trying to figure out what current community norms and expectations are and how they defer from the previous norms of the open thread with the overall aim of fixing and improving Less Wrong. Also I wanted to see if the Public International Law wiki article would rank higher than Bill+Hillary, as it probably should.
And yes, I should probably fix the problem by helping to create link sharing and off-topic sections, but it’s unfortunate that the discussion section as it exists doesn’t seem to work very well for this. I think it’s because the framing of the discussion section makes posts have the appearance of blog posts, rather than the weaker framing of root comments in the open thread.
In the short term I deleted this post and I’ll wait to make another link post until I predict it will get positive karma.
I’d rather you didn’t use LessWrong for experiments like that. You may be gaining insight about the community norm (for what purpose ?), but you’re also wasting everybody’s time.
