1. Regulars recognize each other. 2. New people get answers within a day. 3. Disagreements stay about ideas. 4. The owner shows up. 5. Spam never makes it to the front page. If your comment section hits three of five, you are doing better than most of the internet.

    Number four is the big one. The moment the owner stops replying, the regulars drift away and the spammers move in.
