Sorry for being super contrary to a bunch of hot posts in this sub, but really, should /all be /all? And not /notall?
I see a lot of posts from people suggest very reasonable way to make /all nice and clean, and spam free etc.
I'm looking to get a feel from them of "why" and how they reconcile restricting the mass-sub-viewing system in this open/free speech focused forum.
Perhaps offer the filtered /all as another sub? /clean or something?
EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the responses, I would give you soviet union points, but I've been cut off for the day, so sorry for that. if I magically get another 15 points from this thread, I promise to go and provide e-peen based acknowledgement.

My issue is that when a sub doesn't play by any sort of rules, why should it get any shine from /v/all?
If you need 15000 CCP to downvote, you are now playing on an unever playing field, same with not having a downvote button. Why should this actions be rewarded with a higher place on /all? It is all about /all being a fair front page, and it wouldn't be with these subs not allowing downvotes.

Maybe a points requirement for downvoating or banning downvoating is a bad idea. When i click all, i want to see content from all subverses.

I am with you but /all would just be focusing on subs that have those rules.
I would be okay with getting rid of both the points requirement and removing the downvote button hiding. I think that would be ideal.

/all /isn't/ the frontpage though. /all is (or should be, I guess) /all.
I'm a huge advocate of the frontpage being /all, though, but I do like the logic of the suggested restrictions to /all I've been seeing, so perhaps use that for the frontpage and leave /all to be /all!

But we don't have a front page so /v/all kind of becomes that. Still don't think subs should be rewarded for getting rid of downvotes.
