I would think that this is not a good idea. I acknowledge that we might have a problem, but we should try to fix the problem without creating additional overhead and ultimately risking a bigger mess. Every community that I know has rules, and the ALAC is no exception. We need to set them and enforce them. No cross posting, specifically between ALAC and GA, would be already a good starting point. A posting limit could be another one. Monitoring off-topic posts a third one, although more resource-demanding and potentially controversial. In all cases sanctions should be etablished and enforced.
