Would you join my moderated discussion site once it is set up?

Asked by CallorFold (38points) November 14th, 2015

Following on from my last question http://www.fluther.com/185206/what-website-allows-one-to-create-a-moderated-community-for-discussion/, I am now considering launching my own site for moderated political discussion where personal attacks are against the rules. I would be the moderator. Would you be interested in joining the site? If you have conditions, what are they? If there are pitfalls that have prevented previous projects of this nature succeeding, what are they and do you have any ideas on how I can avoid them?

My current plan is for users to provide an email address which will used for password resets. Users will be able to write one diary per day. Users will be able to comment on the diaries and recommend diaries. There will be a recommended list. There will be the ability to get a list of diaries and to go to another page to see the diaries that came before. This can repeat back to the first diary.

Users will be able to reply to comments and there will be a page they can visit which has links to any comment that has a new reply. Users will be able to visit a comment and its replies, without having to visit the parent diary.

Users will be free to go on tangents in diary comments. Users will be free to provide as much or as little evidence as they wish.

The site will be primarily about the US political scene. Users will be free to advocate for particular candidates and parties.
