Ok, it seems that this is just to measure the interest, as such product doesn't exist at all yet. Some comments: 1. Reddit/HN style threads (sorting function by time and score) are great for news or current issues, not for topics that are continuous. That's why reposts and duplicates are actually needed. Old threads on HN and Reddit are forgotten quickly. 2. Upvoting mechanism / community moderation requires a sizable community to provide any value. 3. Real user names do not provide any value, usually it actually reduces to quality of discussion. Anonymous/throwaway accounts serve their place. Community moderation already solves the quality/spam/troll issue to some extent. Most of these 'features' should be configurable, as there seems to be no clear thought of why this configuration would be good for everyone.
