I've been noticing a same thing in a variety of subs as I primarily check use /all/new to find interesting topics. It's not doing good things to the site since it's resulting in enormous numbers of submissions with little or no commentary - it makes things look completely dead. Right the front page of /v/all/new (25 topics) have a total of 7 posts, including the 4 in this thread. The second 25 links have a total of 3 coments. The third 25 links also have a total of 3 comments and so forth.

I don't really want to put limits on Submissions, that might backfire. But they could easily put a time limit between submissions to the same subverse. I doubt spammers would bother if it took 20 minutes between each post.

Yeah thinking about it for a bit I tried to ninja edit that out. You're fast.

I'm not sure what a reasonable solution is. We obviously want people submitting comment but it's currently starting starting to look like an empty site when the vast majority of submissions on the front page, and several after it, have 0 commentary.

Seems very iffy to me. What user wants to post so many links so quickly? A thoughtful one? Most likely not. Seems spammy to me!

I've got a somewhat uncomfortable opinion for you, hope you're not the kind of person to get offended easily.

I'm going to assume like a lot of people you arrived here from the Reddit exodus (in fact I'm pretty sure I saw your intro post). I think a lot of us came because we were tired of people trying to control Reddit and make it over in their own image.

Why bring that baggage with you and start asking and pushing for regulation of other people here? Just my opinion of course, but that kind of thinking is exactly how Reddit turned to shit. You start off with "maybe this is spamming" and get a few people to go "yeah it is", then it progresses into things that pisses a few people off in that group become "spam" and you start blocking certain websites as spam and filtering offensive opinions and before you know it...you've got voat remade with all the same problems as reddit, but with a different group of assholes controlling what gets to said.

I'd encourage you to consider how are you contributing to improving the site and worry less about what other people are doing. If you have a better idea about how to do it, do it that way and if it's a good idea other people will see it an follow it. Don't sit around worrying what other people post or how often and when. @123_456 can post whatever they want to /v/news as long as it's news and it doesn't have anything to do with you.
