Is an online forum with all signal and zero noise possible?
If you wanted to create an online forum that would have only signal and no noise, how would you do it?
First, you must define signal and noise. That is a very big problem.
Looking at Reddit‘s /r/askscience I‘d heavy moderate. I‘ve seen threads where more than half of the comments were hidden. I think /r/askhistorians is similar.
Well, my background is in signal processing, control theory/feedback systems, and instrumentation. Someone's noise is another's signal, and vice versa. Processing and filtering, with the best of intentions, comes at a price. Tradeoffs, ah, tradeoffs.
