Yesterday the topic “
Habr is not a place for sublimation ” came out, the author of which cited a good example of how left-wing offtopics turn out to be more popular than discussing the main topic.
Typical offtopic on Habré is grammar-nationalist tips-jokes-jokes. Where to put a comma, but who has a longer dash.
The funny thing is that to solve this typical problem a long time ago a solution was invented
-
Orfus system . I highlighted the error, pressed the key combination and the error message goes to the author by email. Everything! The official channel through which you can notify the author about the error is, and it is so simple to use that it is easier to use it than the comments.

Why an analogue of the system has not yet been made for Habr is not clear. This could easily remove a bunch of offline offtop comments and at the same time improve the quality of texts on Habré.
PS In general, there are plenty of similar examples of what can be automated, but so far it has been shouldered by users, there are a lot of people on the Internet. Take at least the notorious LJ-cat, which is
long overdue to ban - how many stupid comments and holivorov he caused! On Habré, glory to the developers, at least a few years later the auto-reminder about the cat was introduced :)
PPS Here they hint to me that there are informal systems. However, until the official one is introduced, some particularly Nazi comrades with a karma under -1K will continue to pop in the camments.
PPPS Did you ever think that the system can be implemented as a system of edits that the author of the topic will only approve? This is a step ahead of some kind of ctrl + Enter!
