Even though most people liked the idea in that recent PUA thread, I don't see any concrete moves in that direction either.

Seriously? That's a pretty quick judgement! I wrote most of a follow-up post, but I'm going to reevaluate it a bit in light of Patri's article.

I strongly support proposal 1, and I'd welcome some monitoring to make sure I don't violate this new norm.

If the subreddits idea wins, I will also chip in for the technical cost. Social.lesswrong.com seems like a decent way to do the thing-that-isn't-PUA.

You're right, I was rounding you to the nearest cliche of the last few people who said this sort of thing, and I was wrong.

I like the sound of social.lesswrong.com.
