Just putting this out there to the community. But should we introduce a level system, members would be required to take a test for intelligence. This rating would then be displayed next to their avatar.
This would allow other users to judge their comments based on their intelligence. Someone with a high intellect posts a comment we can to some degree of confidence assume that they have used research and evidence to come to their conclusion.
We could also filter out posts by IQ range. This would cut out some of the nonsense chaff enabling us to have a more reasoned discussion. But perhaps on the Brexit forum we would allow the less abled to post so they can vent their frustration.
Another option could be that we have forums only accessible to those with an IQ over a certain level.
I understand that intelligence is varied and hard to measure but I think if we put our minds to it we could do it. It would also encourage others to expand their minds.
P.S. Spelling doesn't have to be part of the test.
