Apologies in advance if this sounds harsh. I think you raise some good points about the HN community and general human feedback mechanisms. I would vote to keep the meta-chatter on HN to a minimum. Let's focus on our discussions and posts, rather than on making a "community" with rules, regulations, and formal conventions. If you want a self aware hive mind, reddit is a good place to look. I go there for that; I come to HN to focus entirely on the content.
