I think that's an unfair conclusion. A lot of the problem is users who mistake the function of the site on their own.

The site is more geared towards social collaboration in my opinion. There are many users who were drawn by the social interaction features. Some bad things were borne of that mix (parts of the wikis being unadaptable, moderation strain from social interaction occurring in wiki areas etc). Still, I think staff appear to be branching off every extension designed for social interaction to an off-wiki place which is good.

Incidentally, I've only ever seen a dating thread in Discussions once. I saw 10 today on Community Central walls in the process of using chat.
