I don't read /sci/ therefore I don't understand what you mean.

Do you know of it?

No, I've just found out that it is a board on 4chan.

Typical low-moderation problems. Repeated discussions of contentious but played-out issues like religion, IQ, status of various fields, etc. The basilisk is an infohazard in that sense at this point, IMO. It's fun to argue about, to the point of displacing other worthwhile discussion.

LessWrong also has low moderation. Why would the basilisk generate more trivial discussion than other topics?
