If discourse is the problem, what's wrong with some sort of HN/Slashdot/Reddit-like crowd sourced moderation? That's the way to solve that issue.

- showerst 13y agoThat might work for a very small community, but past a certain size it fails. Even reddit has had a large number of times that doxxing or threat's 'slipped through', not to mention things like the white supremacist subreddit that encouraged it.
- Karunamon 13y agoOnce the post is there, the damage is done. It'll stay in its position for a while before being modded to invisibility. If it makes our hypothetical user think twice before posting, game's already over. And if using a threaded system like HN,/.,Reddit, etc, if the threatening post is the only response to a comment, downmodding it doesn't accomplish anything.
