I wouldn't say they are 'broken' - there is a lot of misunderstanding about it, and due to the level of censure taking place on bitcointalk its difficult to get a clear picture of what it is about on this forum.

We might need to think about moving forum because some of the people proposing the ideas apparently being "moderator incompatible". Technically I dont think it is accurate to say the clarity has been hurt by deletions directly, as far as I saw & remember contents of now deleted post no technical comments were deleted. What has hurt clarity possibly is the refusal of people to participate because of the potential of moderation or clash of egos and moderators.

I do sympathize and dislike moderation myself, though there is a little irony in Peter R's deleted comment containing a proud link to his own heavy trolling of /r/bitcoin which is not exactly the way to encourage people to divert their time to review your proposal (moderator or not!)

I started a thread on /r/btc

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/3zc6qg/review_of_shelling_point_protocol_selection_ideas/

and typed up a summary of ideas explained so far (including the below one that I already read before starting this thread we're in).

So may I respectfully point interested parties to the BU 'white paper' ( without having this post moderated/deleted as a result) here where you can digest the finer details.

I had read that one before starting the thread. It seems to be a different idea again not mentioned on this thread. Maybe we should be analysing a set of features that BU proposes to combine.

Immediate observation with empty block ratios is that this appears not to work in the face of 4 existing network behaviours SPV mining, relay network, big pools and selfish-mining.

Additionally, the FAQ provides a higher level description of key topics. This should remove some of the guesswork which has characterised this thread.

Dont recall if I read that one yet.

Then present your thoughts or arguments on the unmoderated /r/btc reddit or directly to bitco.in where they can be discussed.

Ha after thought I figured /r/btc is the next best option given the egos and the moderators clashing, yes, see above.
