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.

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.

gross. was reading through the thread about post throttling for low-ccp users. it seemed to be implied through some of the comment chains there that that system is being considered due to one mod. i assume it's the same guy, i guess.
i really disagree with this making restrictive policy over a single mod. i hope this isn't the case.

should universal policy be being made due to rouge mods? isn't that a separate issue?
like, the structure, policy and algorithm are in place to interpret the community, and the mods and admins are meant to prune the ones that sneak through the filtering, right? but the mods are a part of that system, and that system is based around the users.
right?

Then they cry about the admin limiting their free speech. I guess they could complain about this too. We currently have one main guy dealing with everything site wide so it can get kinda tough on him. That part of it is imperfect, not sure how he will deal with the site getting more traffic, I unfortunately am not totally in the know.
I am gonna reply to your other comment here too, even if it was just him, more like him will come and abuse that system. The user, I am aware of him, and the only subs that had that high downvote thing were his, so doing it was more to limit him. I am not sure of other subs that have that limit, I guess they could exist. They could easily change their system to allow downvoting if they wanted to be seen on /v/all
Just like Reddits /all is not an accurate measure of all their subs, I guess in a different way Voats are not either.
