“Research debt” is only a problem if the community has the problem of feeling like they need to read everything/keep up with the literature in the first place. Well, mostly. Rather than limiting people’s willingness to communicate, should instead innovate on filtering higher-quality and lower-quality posts, for the dimensions you care about.
Alternatively/additionally, should split (self-sorted or not) into bubbles where newcomers feel safer to post, but still have an audience and a chance at prestige if they produce good work. I suggested something like that here… although most of the things I have to say about this is in my goshdang drafts. :p
