It sounds like you agree it’s difficult, you just think EA Forum participants will successfully rise to the challenge?
Which idk, maybe, maybe not, seems high variance—I’m less optimistic than you. And making things personal blog posts makes them less visible to new forum users (hidden by default, I think?) but not to more familiar users who opt in to seeing personal blog posts, which seems great for higher quality conversations. So yeah, idk, ultimately the level of filtering here is very mild and I would guess net good
I need to consider the visibility of the personal blog posts. If they are really ~invisible one possibility could be combining politics with the community section.
I personally set them to equal visibility to normal posts, so this doesn’t matter to me. But I don’t know the stats for how many forum users do so. If basically all forum users have them invisible then I would consider this stronger censorship
