I know there's been a lot of snark in this thread, but I deeply sympathize with the feelings of frustration that produced the suggestions you've made OP. Frankly, these are common frustrations, and actually there are a lot of people who might agree with your suggestions.

The trick is: how exactly to do this without having it become immediately corrupted into something that is the opposite of what we desired?

I've tried to build my own approach to solving this design issue; it's called Aretéanism. The Assemblage of Areté just hit its 7-year anniversary the other day, and we're growing stronger and stronger- but also more importantly, we're growing better and better.

If you're curious to learn more about it, this Dropbox link will take you to a PDF of our booklet "What Is Aretéanism?".
