The Sequences could be recommended somewhat differently, for example: "In this forum we sometimes discuss some complicated topics. To make the discussion more efficient and avoid endlessly repeating the same arguments about statistics, evolution, quantum mechanics, et cetera, it is recommended to read the Sequences." Not like 'you have to do this', but rather like 'read the FAQ, please'. Also in discussion, instead of "read the Sequences" it is better to recommend one specific sequence, or one article.

This.

Seriously, we need to start doing all the stuff recommended here, but this is perhaps the simplest and most immediate. Someone go do it.
