Your suggestions are noted and will be considered.
Something to consider would be an [scientific invite only] thread where the poster of the article could post a scientific thread, and then invite people who would not be disruptive.
It would be like a debate in a college where 2 people get up on stage and debate a subject, and then allow questions from audience member if they wish.
Or it could be a 5 way debate if the article poster wanted.
It seems like it would be much easier to police.
Anyway, I don’t remember seeing this idea discussed before so I thought I would mention it.
Just a thought.
Please. Thank you.
