in thread Off topic section?
Your description of a "non-section OT section" sounds better than anything else I've heard of. Of course no solution will be perfect. I don't think it's become a problem *yet*, but have no feel for how long it might take for OT proliferation side-effects to become a issue. About the time I start to wonder if OT root posts would really become an issue, I remember the godless-heathen-slashdot-hordes. Heh.
Regarding the potential problems of "no-value post reapings", it looks like the reaping mechanism may not be scaling well. On second thought, s/reaping/level-powers/;. KnowwhatImeanVerne? I've no suggestions whatsoever on addressing that, if it is indeed a conceivable source of a possible problem. (So did I couch that last statement in enough qualifiers?   {grin})

P.S. Hrm... might a "not-a-section OT section" end up encouraging even greater volume of OT posts?? /me gets a headache pondering triple double sideways reverse psychology.
Update Here are a couple articles by Clay Shirkey that appear quite relevant to the topic of Monastery community and scalability. I'm still absorbing+digesting the info for to develop an opinion.- http://shirky.com/writings/community_scale.html
