Thanks for your feed-back!
We are considering questionnaires for certain discussions, but aren’t sure this would help. We do have flagging, once you have been granted discussion editor rights. Can you recommend a good quick reasoning test?
Unlike Wikipedia, not everyone can just edit a discussion. Currently you have to be invited by the discussion creators (no we haven’t seen much bias due to that, as one-sided discussions look really stupid). Until you are invited you can only suggest claims, which admins have to accept. This also keeps the trolls out.

The next phase will be to have user levels and allow roaming powerusers that have writers etc rights in all public discussions. We are learning as we go. As you say, dealing with controversies is a very different game than with definitions of terms (although they are sometimes controversial too and then they might well get edit-locked)

And a very kind shout out by Reddit cofounder Ohanian, incl how we differentiate ourselves to Reddit here: https://twitter.com/KialoHQ/status/954500647835054080
We agree that the voting and displaying of avg is not ideal and will probably introduce perspective tagging.
Msg support if you want private teams / portals, for decision-making etc..
We know we got a long arduous journey ahead of us...
Have you seen that you can do multi theses debates and thus evaluate non-binary issues?
Here is an example by a user: https://www.kialo.com/stand-or-kneel-2995/2995.0/2995.0
We allow for comments, on claims as an additional way of interacting, but we are always happy to learn more.
