&gt; EDIT: Sorry, I know it&#x27;s off-topic, but there&#x27;s no other place to post it (that I know of).<p>Yeah, as annoying as it is to see hostile comments, it&#x27;s also kind of annoying to see meta comments. I understand that meta comments are important for making the site better, but it distracts from the discussion on the articles themselves.<p>Perhaps a good solution would be to have a separate &quot;meta&quot; comments section for each posting. This would be similar to how wikipedia has a separate &quot;discuss&quot; section for each article. This would be a useful place to put comments like yours and mine, and moderators could even move comments over to the meta discussion to keep the main comment section on-topic. It would also be a good place to post title-change requests, and other moderation requests.<p>This would lower the prevalence of off-topic meta discussion, while also providing an appropriate venue for discussing important topics that make the site better in the long run.
