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.

/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.

there totally is a frontpage. If you go to voat.co without any subs it is a different list of subs to /v/all
fundamentally, a post still needs to be vetted by both mods and the community. it still need upvotes for it to appear on /all. it's less about "rewarding" good posts with making sure content is easily viewable.
I think perhaps the issue here is a difference in perspective on the "power" of not having downvotes. has there been issues with specifically not having downvotes in the past?
