A better name for this is [[edits, votes and bets]].  Since this is all about the relationship between those things.  Juxo position:  betting is bad, voting is not much better, editing can be free-form like Wikipedia and managed by the same informal methods - anything that needs formal process goes to [[Content Wiki]].  [[Trolls]] argue that the Content Wiki will be about consensus so the [[Opinion Wiki]] or the troll proposed [[The Consumerium Exchange]] must be about controversy and create contrasts that let people make the choices that they count on Consumerium to help them make.  So this implies a different kind of formality.

:It's actually about EXPERIMENTING to let SEVERAL ways of relating those thigns compete.  Each [[faction]] might have its own way of doing it, and the least controversial faction might get to edit the [[Signal Wiki]]/[[Content Wiki]].  Obviously we already have factions forming:

:Why not consider these two factions, and see if we can figure out how they would dance to make the long term [[Research Wiki]] work?  We seem to be doing fine at this [[troll-friendly]] dance so far, and obviously other [[large public wiki]]s could learn from our approach.  Even when counter-trolls came in and tried to satirize the early trolls, they were easily responded to and their comments were absorbed, despite the fact that they were partially [[vandalism]].  But when people from a [[sysop power structure]] from another [[large public wiki]] came in to excuse their abominable [[sysop vandalism]], they were [[driven off by trolls]].  So far, this is basically the right way:  probably THE SAME PEOPLE were better treated when they came in as trolls making fun than when they came in as sysops claiming authority.  This is a lesson to them, and maybe to everybody.

Bleagh.  This [[permission-based model]] nonsense has to GO.  It has no purpose.  If this wiki is only for opinions, things that don't get to the [[Consumerium buying signal]], then, who cares?  NO one will go to this kind of bother.  Recall that nupedia got TWENTY articles in the same time span than Wikipedia got TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND.  That's what happens when you make people prove who they are.  These are not "requirements", and if they were implemented, the whole thing wouldn't be used.  So the clock's ticking on this.
 
Besides, until the whole process behind the signal is clear, there's no point trying to figure out what its interfaces are.  So why not work on the [[Consumerium Process]] instead?  One [[service cycle]] for this whole thing?
 
Time to define the [[Consumerium Process]] by which data gets from unreliable anonymous trolls to the [[...buying signal]] to bring down major transnats as the [[CGO]] fends off their lawsuits!
