Er… has any ‘Archipelago’ been tried? When you say “Archipelago hasn’t worked”, you’re talking about… what?
We *did* spend several months working on the Ban user and users-setting-moderation-norms features, and write up a lengthy post discussing how we hoped they would be used, and a couple people very briefly tried using them. So... "any" Archipelago has been tried.
But certainly it was not be tried in a way where the features were clear enough that I'd have expected people to have "really" tried it.
The rest of the pros-and-cons seem relevant, although I'm currently actually more optimistic about Open Questions than Archipelago (partly for unrelated reasons that have to do with why I think Open Questions was high value in the first place.)
