I agree that the Alignment Forum should be selective, and its members probably represent a small subset of LessWrong readers. That said, useful comments from regular LessWrong users are often promoted to the Alignment Forum.
However, I do think there should be more comments on the Alignment Forum because many posts currently receive no comments. This may be discouraging for authors, because they may feel that their work isn’t being read or appreciated.
