Other sites with similar systems have a constant stream of junk posts that nobody sees, wasnt the promotion/voting system meant to bring the rare good ones out of the junk?
If you’re hoping for a growing community, wont it be even harder to maintain a slow post rate?
Posters and commenters should learn (and be taught) to self-moderate. If the moderation culture consistently downvotes posts that are not good enough for the front page into deep negative, posters will think twice before posting something predictably unworthy.
I think an additional endorsement to downvote worthless posts, not just bad ones, should be included in the moderation guidelines.
