Well...as far as articles, the voting system is supposed to prevent crap from turning into "top stuff"...the real problem here is that something that elicits discussion (like the article about Gruden, which, you're right, probably belongs in the locker room) is interesting and well worth discussing for a lot of us...each comment is (correct me if i'm wrong) 1/4 of a vote...so items that get a lot of discussion also get promoted...that may or may not be a problem...

I agree that the scoring system prevents crap from becoming really big, but the problem occurs when poorly written stuff bumps better written, thoughtful articles from the front page.

Without a doubt...its supposed to work, but its certainly not perfect...you'll also note that articles that make it to the "top stuff" tend to get most of their votes once they're there (its mathmatical and part of the site inherently)...

If you don't like an article don't comment on it! The problem here is everyone is looking to blast someone- we love it!!- the dumber the comment the more we get excited to call them a "retard"- I just get pissed when my article gets bumped for "this is my first post"- but hey I'm sure others get pissed when my article bumps out theirs- anyway, let's all just get high and love each other!

No one is perfect, Baltimore... Sometimes people are well... people. Facts can be misrepresented by accident and sometimes by ego-driven ignorance. Other people have an inborn need to get attention, others are just freeks. But nobody is right all of the time.

Keep in mind: When you go around casting stones, eventually someone's gonna think of a reason to pick one up and chuck it back! (personally, I like to give what I get...)

So how's that article about the Braves salary cap situation coming?
