Please do not make this a personal attack on me, one member of the community.
I argue that submitting nothing is better than submitting garbage links. Additionally, I am not bringing the site down by voting up egregious headlines.
- noodle 17y agoand are you helping the site out by flagging down the articles you have problems with?
- chaostheory 17y agoI think what kyro is trying to say is, if you don't like what you see on HN - why not submit the type of articles you'd like to see, hopefully starting a trend? imho it doesn't help that your post sounds more like whiny bitching than constructive criticism
- cjc 17y agoFair enough, and I agree with that. but look at the behavior of the community right now. The highest voted comment on this post is basically a "screw you dude" and all of my responses are downvoted without any reasons given. Below in comments I stated what I personally would like to see change, but that too is downvoted without explanation. These reactions are reinforcing my original point: Though many precautions were taken, Hacker News is no more immune to large group behavior than were Digg and Reddit. The community has reached a tipping point.

- jemmons 17y agoYou essentially just called a community stupid. When provoked with such nonconstructive criticism, I'm not sure why you would expect said community to respond with anything but "No, you're stupid."
