Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Warning levels detection/reply (16)

Assuming Flow feeds will be anywhere close to what LiquidThreads offers as "New Messages" (all watched and updated threads collected in one feed) I'm a little skeptical about that feature, too.

Actually it encourages to discuss – but one often looses overview about what one was actually discussing (was it Flow in general? Or the prototype? Or was it some completely different discussion regarding VE?). Doesn't matter! Just write what you think! The Flow will go on – and sometimes steer the discussion into a dead end where much was said but little gained.

Threads are not closely enough bound to pages for my taste. One gets discussions everywhere and I'm afraid it could lead to users contribute to whatever pops up in their feed. While producing more "Flow" this probably won't increase the quality of contributions but will hide the useful contributions between the many "say something" answers.

Edit:

Actually I just did it myself!: The thread was about warning levels. Now I'm talking about feeds in a discussion that is already nested in seven layers! I have serious concerns if threaded discussion will actually aid the type of discussions we have going on Wikipedia...
