Hence the implicit honeypot extension that I proposed. :)
- there 15y agoyour honeypot concept appears to be targeting sockpuppets or voting rings that try to vote up bad content that gets flagged by legitimate users. that's not the same as legitimate articles that don't get enough upvotes because they roll off of /newest too fast. even with zero spam, the site is now big enough that legitimate articles can get submitted at a rate that makes the /newest page move too fast for things to get traction.
