I imagine the not-dying part goes something like this: Keep the long well researched quality contributions in sight and the [what I call] "guaranteed audience" type of submissions out of sight. Some people just make a ton of noise. One should probably encourage that but limit exposure (not let them drown out the rest of the users) or make quality posts hard to find.
