This does indeed seem like something that's covered by the new policy. It's illegal. In the alternative where it's a bad idea, talking about it has net negative expected utility. If it were for some reason a good idea, it would still be incredibly stupid to talk about it on the &^%$ing Internet. I shall mark it for deletion if the policy passes.
What about the possibility that someone who thought it was a good idea would change their mind after talking about it?
This seems an order-of-magnitude less likely than somebody wouldn't naturally think of the dumb idea, seeing the dumb idea.
Therefore censor uncommon bad ideas generally?
