I think we have it. Three rotating volunteers, public material supplied by the applicant, behavior rather than opinions, two of three to approve, and an alternate short conversation when there is no useful public history. I am naming this the Welcoming Committee of Three Veterans, against my better judgment.

[Eran Galor]

All right, the three-person review idea is clearly collecting the most furniture around it. Keep pulling at the weak points, especially privacy and what we do with applicants who have no public posting history.

[Eran Galor]

Useful distinction: I do not want us judging whether somebody is interesting enough. We are screening for whether they can coexist with other people, which is a much lower and more merciful bar.

[Eran Galor]

Please keep chronological view somewhere even if ranked answers happen later. Sometimes the order of failed experiments is the whole story.

[Eran Galor]

I support the labels. “Inference” will save us a lot of fake certainty.

[Eran Galor]

The one-variable rule should probably be repeated in large letters. People love changing temperature, leaf, time and water and then announcing the kettle fixed it.

[Eran Galor]

The water rule is good. Please do not make conductivity meters a citizenship requirement. City plus filtered/unfiltered is already much better than nothing.

[Eran Galor]

List the exact revision, voltage and exorcist. We will take it from there.

[Eran Galor]

Agreed in principle. For now, the questioner can say what they tested in plain text. We can add machinery when the machinery solves a demonstrated problem.

[Eran Galor]

Strongly encouraged, not mandatory. Sometimes the useful evidence is a serial label, pressure reading or ten-second sound clip. The rule is reduce guessing, not upload media for ceremony.

[Eran Galor]

Yes. ‘Grind finer’ is allowed. ‘Grind finer because X, and expect Y’ is useful. The second one gets priority.

[Eran Galor]

Agreed in principle, postponed in implementation. For now the questioner should return and write “Confirmed solution:” so the resolution is searchable without adding another plugin/state system.

[Eran Galor]

Yes. That one is active now, not postponed. Safety devices stay safety devices.

[Eran Galor]

Good idea, postponed. Some roasters will earn enough traffic for that; others would become empty monuments with one heroic post from 2024.

[Eran Galor]

Also postponed. I want the model name somewhere in the title, but I do not want seventy threads beginning with the same machine name like a spare-parts catalogue. Human titles are allowed.
