I had a couple of ideas like this myself and I chose to cull them before doing this poll for these reasons:
The problem with splitting the discussions is that then we'd end up with people having the same discussions in multiple different places. The different posts would not have all the information, so you'd have to read several times as much in if you wanted to get it all. That would reduce the efficiency of the LessWrong discussions to a point where most would probably find it maddening and unacceptable.
We could demand that users stick to a limited number of subjects within their subdivision, but then discussion would be so limited that user experience would not resemble participation in a subculture. Or, more likely, it just wouldn't be enforced thoroughly enough to stop people from talking about what they want, and the dreaded plethora of duplicated discussions would still result.
The best alternative to this as far as I'm aware is to send the users who are disruptively bad at rational thinking skills to CFAR training.
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, problem solved.
If you're suggesting that duplicated discussions can be solved with paste, then you are also suggesting that we not make separate areas.
Think about it.
I suppose you might be suggesting that we copy the OP and not the comments. Often the comments have more content than the OP, and often that content is useful, informative and relevant. So, in the comments we'd then have duplicated information that varied between the two OP copies.
So, we could copy the comments over to the other area... but then they're not separate...
Not seeing how this is a solution. If you have some different clever way to apply Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V then please let me know.
No, because only the top content in each area would be shared to the others.
This creates a trivial inconvenience.
So add a "promote" button that basicaly does the same automatically.
