We discussed that and came to the conclusion that we couldn't know whether a signalboost post might start generating interesting discussion in the comments; I am still somewhat worried because we have so many signalboosts that they drown out the actual discussion. (OTOH, if we left out signalboosts we would be left with very little. :()
Also, as someone with experience with linkspam, do you have any particular tips and tricks to recommend? :( Mainly it seems like I'm just searching Icerocket for any combination of keywords that seems reasonable (which has resulted in some interesting experiences such as reading through all the recent blogposts including the word "disability"), but I know Icerocket doesn't pick up everything and I'm worried I'm missing huge swathes of conversation off somewhere.
