Thanks for sharing it Noah! The offer of feedback extends to them.
“On the one hand, low context people writing can hurt the quality of the average post or comment” I think this is a good point, even though the karma system does a decent job of bounding the effect that low context writing hurts the Forum user experience.
We have some internal quality metrics, and we’re working on more to help us keep an eye on this. If it (too much low quality content) becomes a major issue, there are steps we can take (more of a rigorous on-boarding process for example, or a larger percentage of posts being moved to personal blog, or a ‘rejected’ page).
Either way, it’s not something that individual authors should worry about when considering whether to post.
