Fully realizing the irony of taking part in a discussion right now, I would prefer to keep *all* discussion relegated to the back pages or a comment board somewhere. If I want long back-and-forth, there's Slashdot. Same goes for cheerleading and for witty jibes. There's a place for that in the world, but my preference would be for LWN comments to be only corrections or substantial additions.

It doesn't protect good posters from abuse and doesn't let others protect good posters. It doesn't encourage moderators who want to spend more time on moderation. It doesn't really discourage stupid posters. It does not make enough to improve signal to noise ratio. And finally, Slashdot stories don't cover Linux in depth (if at all), like LWN does.
