Laudate_Dominum Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I say it is worth experimenting with. As Rexi indicated, there are many possible models that could be tried. I like the general concept and have been pondering this topic for a while actually. hmmm... I'd expect most people to be cynical and skeptical of the idea, but if we lived in a world where open, free, participatory forum software was the norm I imaging that most people would be negative towards the idea of hierarchical, authoritarian forum software. It will be a fun experiment even if it fails miserably imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 The authoritarian message board is built on the aggression of the ruling class. This aggression will not stand, man! Anarchy now!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sounds like an interesting idea. If taken to an extreme, perhaps we can have even more interesting things happen like a declaration of war by an external group and a conquest of the board. (through hacking, I suppose?)
