> the argument of "we shouldn't talk about this, because it's polarising" is a dangerous one You're right, as moderation systems and communities go, this is one of the better ones. Please note, though, I wasn't saying we shouldn't talk about this, we should. I was saying we shouldn't talk about this with a voting system attached, because that structurally predisposes a forum towards a one-sided discussion. In hindsight, I probably should have just solicited an "Ask HN: What's the best forum moderation system for political discussions?" instead of hijacking this thread.
