Note that this poll only samples people who care about these threads enough to read them. People who avoid these threads and don't like them cluttering /discussion will not see it.
Fair point, though I feel like that logic is sort of letting them cause a comparatively large disruption to our enjoyment of real-time discussion of the final arc of a fiction we've been following for years, in return for the prevention of a comparatively small temporary disruption to their enjoyment of the Discussion forum. Scope, of course, plays a part here, but I doubt it's remotely enough on the side of the 500 comments people to tip the scales.
I'm not seeing why that should be relevant...?
It skews the poll results...
No, I mean why do we need a sample from LW as a whole if the poll is only relevant to people who want to discuss HPMOR? Maybe it clutters up discussion, but it's difficult to see how that would impact anyone's experience of Lesswrong.
It is difficult to see... because the poll is skewed.
It may or may not impact other people's experience of lesswrong, but by very virtue of being in this thread, you're less able to comment on that than the people who don't click on it.
I will point out, one per 500 comments was the old system. There was ~30 threads for the first ~100 chapters.
Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. I suppose the top comments are set after while if you use longer threads, but that's easily handled by setting the "Sort By:" option to "New" instead of "Best".
Still, the majority has spoken. I guess people really want new threads for some reason.
