If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.

Notes for future OT posters:

1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.

2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)

3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.

4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.

There is a combination of multiple factors that I have an issue with.

anonymous user
multiple posts
no commentary or discussion started
link outbound
repeated process each week

Alone I have no problem with any of these things (or a few of them); together they add up to; "that which by slow decay" destroys the nature of Lesswrong as we had it before.

There are multiple reasonable solutions to this problem; which include:

me leaving Lesswrong for greener pastures.

changing any of the 5 things:

making an account
posting less each week
starting a discussion
not linking outbound (but also not starting content that links outbound)
not doing it every week

But I would like the 5 changes to be tackled first before I leave.
