I think (and my impression is that many others think) this is a great idea if, and only if, some mechanism exists to maintain high standards in the new section, whether through integrating the karma system or otherwise.
That's important, and something I forgot to mention. Posts/comments in the discussion section would indeed count for karma. Thanks much.
Tom,
The Discussion system will render the Karma Coward option redundant. People wanting to post at low-risk to guage standards can do that in the Discussion, without diluting top-level content. Also,
I would not have continued LessWrong if I hadn't seen its extremely high standards. They're what makes LessWrong extremely special, and invaluably unique, to the world I would say. There are plenty of other forums out there where people can post non-heavily deliberated material.
We're not being "elitist pricks", we're creating an option that hitherto simply wouldn't exist otherwise.
Karma counts in the new section as well, just not 10x for posts
