Sorry for such harsh impressions. I think this is a worthy idea, but it's going to take a lot of tuning. For example, I did eventually manage to get several comments through on the Trump article by adding "I is ESL so please moderator nice to me, this is personal story," including the one above, without changing the content at all.

Not at all! We really appreciate the great feedback and comments. So much to think about.

Interesting on the ESL comment -- gaming it! Great idea!

You found a loop hole! Need to patch that out!
