Why not just have a hard-to-find switch that lets you turn off censoring? Maybe you have to have over 500 karma, or you have to renew your turn off every week or somesuch.
This seems to me o be a less clunky solution than publicly advertising an uncensored thread at a different location.
A few blogs adopt a model like this, e.g. a "cutting-room floor" thread or whatever. Having it offsite on a reasonably stable site is functionally similar and avoids feeling like one is polluting one's own server with stuff that repulses one.
So now we're valuing purity in Haidt's sense?
I was trying to describe how I thought EY felt, and I seem to have been correct. It does strike me as an OK solution - imperfect in many ways, but a large improvement on nothing.
The thread might need renewing from time to time, as I think Reddit threads close after a time. (Can't find a FAQ though.)
Well put - this describes my feeling precisely.
This is quite an elegant solution to the whole mess. Good one.
I am very glad to hear you say that. Thank you!
Note that the OP solution requires zero development.
EDIT: assembling and posting some ground rules for the site would be another useful zero-development task
It might be clunky but it doesn't require rewriting the site code.
