Because if a 10-year-old could have come up with the media being submitted, then it probably shouldn't be submitted here. Having no newsworthiness, pictures contain boring, rehashed messages, and are dangerious because they stroke the group's ego with simplistic messages, and dangerious because they become the preferred submission over time, since they tend to falsely increase a user's confidence though no knowledge has been transferred, while original, analytical thought has been stimied.
- dfranke 19y agoI completely agree with you, but I don't see how that addresses my point. Picture submissions suck, but it's a waste of effort to ban them when we already have a more effective way of dealing with the broader problem of lame submissions.
- greendestiny 19y agoIts a hard and fast rule that kicks in before the submission goes onto the site. Ways of modifying the effects of voting happen later and are more subtle.
