Have you considered downvotes for submissions? Maybe with a Karma threshold, so that it'll only be used to get irrelevant submissions off the front page.

- oscardelben 17y agoOne possible problem with this is that you can downvote everyone except your story of course.
- swombat 17y agoThat's easily caught by a script... Also, if downvoting is limited to high-karma people, the chance that they would actually do this is fairly low.
- pg 17y agoFlagging seems better for that, because if they're really offtopic they should be killed, not just have fewer points.
- swombat 17y agoI guess the trade-off there is between a purely binary action (kill / don't kill) which depends on a moderator's opinion, versus a softer, more gradual action of slowly pushing a story down and letting more worthy stories rise to the top...
