One large difference yet to be mentioned is the existence of the sequences as a frame of reference.
When Eliezer started blogging on OB, he didn't have the Sequences yet, he was just writing them.
So maybe the new site could also start from zero, and the administrator could write an authoritative article when needed. Perhaps put those articles into some special category, like "site rules". And then, hyperlink them whenever the rule is broken again (repetition helps remembering).
When Eliezer started writing them OB was a standard blog where only a select few could post.
I'd recommend spreading the burden of articles, to avoid the cries of "It's a phyg!"
Karma voting could perhaps be extended with an option for "recommend for archive" or "recommend for top level post".
Still, only the trusted reasonable people should be able to write "site rules" articles. Otherwise there is a risk that every "Well-Kept Gardens Die By Pacifism" article will be balanced by at least three "Freedom of Speech: Why Any Downvoting Or Moderation Is Evil Censorship" articles.
If you call it recommendation you can have some trusted people just go through deciding whether or not to follow them.
