I think we should get rid of "main" and "promoted" .
Right now there's four tiers: open thread, discussion, main, and main promoted.
at least once a week I see a comment that says "this should be in main," "this shouldn't be in main", "this should be in the open thread," or "this shouldn't be in the open thread, it should be it's own post".
I think the two tier system of open thread/discussion would suffice, and the upvote downvote mechanism could take care of the rest.
And the "main" tier is actually worse than the "discussion" tier. :(
So I'd recommend removing only the dysfunctional part, and have: open thread, discussion, discussion promoted.
As far as I can tell "promoted" is meaningful because (a) there's a promoted RSS feed (b) it goes to the LW twitter feed. Posts get "promoted" by people who have admin powers, but most of the users with admin powers left a while ago. I think I would kill "promoted" and maybe make it so if you discussion post gets at least +4 or something it goes to the old promoted RSS feed and the twitter feed.
