The rapid fire machine gun blasts of posts are wiping new posts off the /s/all/new page in a matter of an hour or two.

A reasonable daily post limit should improve the quality of posts and reduce the occurance of redundant posts.

I think a 50 post limit would be like no limit for most posters, and amply liberal for prolific posters.

Thoughts?

Na, I can just block people who spam clickbait / low quality trash.

What poal needs is more content that isn't written to generate maximum ad revenue from clicks. There's too much outrage porn targeting mid-wit IQ level conservatives here.

What is needed is more long form substack type articles that talk about current events through poal's lens.

Agreed. Our top posters have even admitted to not reading the content they post so a lot of clickbait gets into the feed. That can't be fixed by a posting limit rule, unfortunately. Voting doesn't even help because votes are so little used it appears. I'm guilty of not voting for posts if the content doesn't pique my interest so I can't say I'm not part of that problem. I don't know how to fix the low quality post problem, but I do know that there isn't enough posting happening on a daily basis to try to implement anything that lowers it further. It's too difficult to attract good users since we're not a typical bunch of social butterflies who are easy to get along with so we have to make do with the users we have for now. Meh.

What I do is immediately go to /all/new because there just isn't enough content in /all/hot. I'll scan /all/hot, but find that I can actually read everything posted quickly, and determine if anything good is missed.

I'ld say the problem is (in order): 1) lack of content 2) lack of quality content

2 is not a poal problem. There's an entire industry dedicated to fucking up right wing content on the internet and drawing peoples' attention to low-quality distraction bullshit.

What Poal needs is more intelligent users who aren't glowies or kike subversives who find the really good articles, post them, but then carry on conversations about them.

Agree, but when 10%-20% of their posts are of something of interest to you, it becomes harder to block them because you do want to see their "quality" posts. Also, when reviewing current posts to avoid redundancy before posting something new, one might inadvertently miss a similar /same post by a blocked user. AOUs prescreen for redundancy works if the URLs are identical, but not if one is archived and the other not.
