Netiquette[1] mentioned. I just re-read it after so many years. :) This makes me realize how old I've become (for they made us read some pre-RFC versions before getting accounts to Sun workstations in college). Oh how civilized the online discussions used to be. And how the community self policed, until it didn't[2]. Maybe FB, Reddit and others should put their AI researchers into good use and make people and bots alike take a hard to cheat test on Netiquette before being allowed to post stuff that will be seen by others. And implement a one month 'observation-only' period as suggested by Netiquette[1]... ;-) [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
