Poal is small enough that I typically browse /all/new/ and I see a fair amount of utter crap content (gibberish post title with no content) that gets a handful of up votes. Who does that? Is Poal really starting to have vote manipulation problems? I know you only allow showing down votes on posts for a reason but I have to ask... is it the same accounts up voting this crap every time?

I get the concept of what you are trying to do... we need more content on Poal and we need a healthy up vote stream... but I am not talking about "content I don't like" and I am not talking about "bad content" which I would define as things like content that is illegal, false, fabricated stories, propaganda, etc... No, I am talking about content looks like it was generated by a random word script and has no link, content, image, etc... just pure gibberish. Why would we want to encourage that?

I have seen zero illegal content here. If you are referring to last nights foreverlurk and others it is amusing to watch them respond. They have a right to Express their reality no matter how stupid it is. If the site gets bigger they will be drowned out so let them have some attention now. That's just my thoughts on it
