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.

as i see it, a toxic individual complaining about "their free speech" isn't so much of an issue as restricting the entire userbase.
I hope atko finds some good help. its a big job for one guy.
so i guess as things are now, subs like his would mess up /all/new? sigh. i don't see a clean solution that doesn't involve direct admin management or affecting /all/hot

I mean, I don't see how it restricts the whole userbase. If you want to involved, don't mess with the most basic feature of upvotes/downvotes. I just don't see why that is too much to ask, let people show that they want to/dont want to see whatever you are posting.
There was his subs messing with /new, and then people going around the total submissions in an hour to post more crap to /new. Basically, there has been a few things I have seen in /new that mess with it.
It is pretty complex situation, that is for sure.
