Yeah there are two halves of saidit... one wants things to always be high quality (aka remove or hide things that are low quality), and the other side of saidit wants it to be a total free for all where anyone can say anything. When saidit was small these conflicting goals were not a problem, but now that saidit is bigger, it has become a bit of a problem.

I'm thinking of launching another saidit-like website that's focused on very high quality discussion, and let saidit be more of the catch-all type of reddit replacement site. In fact I might launch another site that has a "no politics" rule as well, that seems to be a common desire. I think a variety of sites with various rules (and different admins, and different cultures that develop over time) is a good way to actually diversify discussion on the internet and protect free speech. And we have the tools to do it.
