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.
