I'd be grateful if someone could write a code of conduct (I'll think about it too). I'm myself pretty uneducated. The OP is basically the culmination of what I found out I should learn about, besides reading LW itself. I thought it could come in handy for those that seek to educate themselves.

Nonetheless, this is a great idea. Upvoted.

  • If you are unsure if your contribution is valuable, seek feedback in the discussion area.
  • Keep your contributions relevant to the original post if commenting and the LW community as a whole.
  • LW is not a forum for chit-chat.
  • Content that is appropriate for LW...(well I have to think about this tomorrow)
  • Realize that most of the participants on LW are 1.) highly educated 2.) highly intelligent 3.) not neurotypical.

Just some quick ideas which may be ill-conceived as I myself seem to fail the norms quite often.

Can we taboo neurotypical now and avoid a lot of trouble in the future?

Perhaps the idea that we're trying to make Aumann agreement easy would work as an organizing principle. This means not being territorial about one's factual claims, and not adding emotional noise to disagreements.
