Well, not because it's hosted on a web page, but a more structured
system *does* address a lot of these problems. A lot of what you're
referring to as "netiquette" is really about putting the onus on each
individual user to do stuff that a more sophisticated system could
handle for them, and a system like discourse *does* handle those. You
can't top-post on discourse. Renaming topics works in a much saner way.
You can deal with 'cross-posting' in a much saner and more flexible
way. Quoting is always a problem everywhere, but that's only *one*
thing, at least. :D
