Seems like the new proving grounds. Each is a different stage of thread development with the first step being a completely new thread with only the most minimum of information to the fourth step which is a thread just about ready to go live. It conflicts with the currently unorganized threads, so they should just be moved into the right categories.
I think its a good idea, actually. Kiwifarms has a "request" thread, but it seems rarely effective unless its Josh who makes the post or if a post alone is worthy of being a thread. Most of the posts are "Hey, I heard of X person! Be my personal army and look into them will ya?" With these four different categories/states of development people can make basic threads that can grow into full discussions instead of some extremely rigorous and stringent PG standards.
