Do we want more publicity… ? Well, we want to “improve human rationality”, “raise the sanity waterline”, right? Would more publicity help with that? I think we all agree the site benefits its users.
Could the site maintain its quality with a major influx of new users? I think so… we have limitations/minimum karma for upvoting, downvoting and posting, which should limit any ill intentioned or misguided disturbances. Hacker News is a good model btw, they managed to preserve site quality during major user growth by periodically raising the karma requirements for downvoting.
Can the site cope with A LOT more traffic? … dunno, what say the site administrators?
