I definitely disagree with auto submitting but don't believe that Hacker News should be more locked down.
There is always a lot of complaints about content but there is an inherent system allowing posters to know what the mass wants rather than one commenter and making sure the best content rises.
Don't vote up anything you believe doesn't deserve to be on the front page or flag anything that deserves to be flagged. If there are very strict content guidelines some of the most interesting and obscure content won't be recommended for posting.
- benologist 15y agoVoting or not only addresses the person submitting a ton of content, it does nothing for all the stories prematurely bumped down to page 2 or 3 of the new section where they are effectively dead.
- darksaga 15y agoI had the same reaction. HN is already fairly strict with content. If an article has value, it will be on the front page. Not to mention, most of the stuff I comment on, I want to engage in a decent discussion. If a post doesn't have a lot of comments, chances are the people here don't think it's all that important.
