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.

Yeah, from what I understand, there were a few users who would upvote stupid crap to the frontpage that couldn't be downvoted (because they set the upper limit to like 10000 upvotes) With how small the userbase is, a post with 3 upvotes in 10 mins would sit at the top of /all. And then can't be downvoted down.
That is my frontpage, totally different than what I am talking about, that only includes my subs.

fair enough, i guess, although that sounds more like something for the mods to be dealing with, if it's upvote seeding (don't want anyone jackdawing, do we?
hmm. so I've been suggesting we use the frontpage as the filtered /all, but I'm now seeing the issue i think where you don't have access to the same frontpage as me?
I have no subscritions, so I'm told I'm looking at the "default subs" on the frontpage. as i understand it, you're just looking at your subscriptions?

The issue is that the mod is the one who abused the system.
I didn't think about not having subs, and that becoming the default fron. But that still is pretty limiting, because with how the system currently works, subs grow and then die pretty quickly.
