A few tangential ideas off the top of my head:

If the moderation and self selection of Main was changed into something that attracts those who have been on LW for a long time, and discussion was changed to something like Newcomers discussion, LW could go back to being the main space, with a two tier system (maybe one modulated by karma as well).

  1. People have been proposing for a while that we create a third section of LW for open threads and similar content.

  2. We could have a section without any karma scores for posts/upvote only, though we could still keep the same system for comments.

  3. We could allow Discussion posts to be Promoted while still using the Discussion karma system.

  4. We could have Promotion somehow be based on popular vote (not necessarily karma), instead of a moderator's judgement.

Those are all phrased as "do you agree that people are saying X" or "do you agree that we could X" rather than "is X a good idea".

Good point, thanks. I was already not a fan of the way the polls made the post look, so I went ahead and took them down. I could replace them with something better, but I think this thread has already gotten most of the attention it's going to get, so I might as well just leave the post as it is.
