- rwmj 6y agoOf course there are. Slashdot had better voting models 20+ years ago. You should only have a limited number of votes per day, you shouldn't be able to comment and vote on the same article, votes can be subject to "meta-moderation", you don't have simple up/down votes but instead you categorise (informative, unhelpful, spam, etc), and for quick viewing you can show only (eg) informative +2 comments.
