all you have to do to improve the SNR
here, is to have the mods move the N threads and keep the S ones.
Now as to
your proposed NEW "meritocracy" forum, which in no way replaces the High End forum, but is an idea for a completely new forum, the best of luck to you. While such a forum
would probably have a very high SNR, it will never actually come to be. I wonder if you have thought it through.
I still don't even get how you are going to decide who has "Merit"? It's just another Caste system unless there is a fair test applied to everyone equally. I am curious to see the list of specifics. A written exam? A questionnaire? Maybe you could draw up a checklist for us to see, or maybe a preliminary list of who is probably already "in"?
Are the kind of 'Top' people you want to have in this forum really going to want to join it that bad - that they will sit for a snobby test or send in resumés?
Only the Merited Pros get to post in your forum, right? They will
ask the questions and they will
answer the questions. How
many people will make the cut? 1000? 100? 20?
20 is good, because if you pick the right people, you can have a very high SNR. Of course that would probably yield only 1 or 2 posts a week. Not much to read, but it's All Signal!
One concern is that you KNOW there will be someone (many someones) who will
think they have the Merit but didn't make the list. How will these complaints be dealt with? Are You volunteering? You would be a good choice for this job - since you wrote the test.
One more question, just out of curiosity, do you think YOU are Meritocracy material? Or will you be shut out of the forum that was your own idea?
Specifics. Seriously, it is
not going to happen if it is just a vague wish for a "Meritocracy" with nothing solid behind it.

You mean the same chance to someday mix a hit album and get to join the Meritocracy??
Everyone also has the "same chance" to simply
make money.
