My view: - Voting for STORIES is retarded. It can be EASILY gamed. - There should be editors who pick news RELATED to the main purpose of the site. - Let the people SUBMIT stories but let the editors PICK the most relevant. - On the other hand, voting in COMMENTS is ok. A good idea would be to have say ten editors and let them vote on stories submitted by users. Stories with 5 votes or more go to the front page. Can it be gamed? Sure! When that happens it's time to change editors.
