ICLR should not allow public discussion until after decisions. It allows Oscars-style award/accept campaigns by high-profile allies. Even for great papers, that can’t be part of the review process. The only reason it didn’t happen before is because it was against community norms, which are changing.

If folks are apprehensive about blocking they can always just subscribe and mute. They will be flagged as muted by this list. Their individual posts can be unmuted to see if they are block worthy. After 20 or so samples you can choose to block if you feel the list is working as advertised.
