 * "A lot of /d users are under-aged kids who often get themselves banned by saying their age out of the blue, you'd end up running a daycare where you won't even see the fruit of your work since they'd leave before they mature, you just deal with them everyday. Some of them don't even know a wiki exists and they think the app is a chat feature, not a forum for a wiki."


 * "We only had ONE moderator running the forum and it was enough for a year, but when Discussions started growing we had to get four people and still not enough."

These are points I fear when discussions finally rears its head. I don't deal with many editors on the wiki like this but discussions is going to promote activity we are not going to want. Sure you can act with an iron fist to keep discussions inline, but that may not be the best option either. Perhaps better than letting it become a sore for the wiki.
