I would be interested in a month-long experiment to see how the quality of Discussion changes with you banning whatever you felt like.
Widespread and capricious banning of posts earns a million Phyg points.
shrug. At this point MIRI is already doing workshops with relatively well-known mathematicians so I don't think anyone who is a candidate to seriously help is going to be turned off by the cultish forum moderation. And it would only be for a month anyway, unless it resulted in a drastic improvement in quality of posts
I suspect Nesov in particular would put forth and uphold relatively fair-minded, non-ideological, and straightforward rules for deletion, and so Phyg points would be held to an acceptable level. But Nesov is somewhat singular in that regard. If Eliezer or other similarly ideological moderators tried to ride Nesov's coattails then Phyg points would naturally shoot through the roof.
I vote Nesov for LessWrong Dictator.
Seems a good test to reactivate LW dynamics.
