Long answer: No, because this community was designed by influential people, attracts even more influential people of similar interests and professional savvy, and is maintained (despite some users' thoughts to the contrary) much more efficiently than most other forums. The only well known forum that's more strict and efficient in terms of staying on topic and not devolving into trolling would be Stack Exchange.
Tell you what, why don't you strike out on your own and make a new community? You can make a splinter group like programmers.stackexchange did with Stack Overflow. You can even make it clear in your guidelines that the only things you can discuss are:
• algorithms and data structures
• languages and frameworks
• technology news involving at least one startup
• weekend projects designed and deployed by users
• news in any of the hard sciences
You can also make it clear that
• politics
• techish things but really more like politics
• blog posts not including code
will be vigorously flagged and shot down. Try it?
