I recommend 'purgatory' votes: allow users to vote on placing some items in a 'purgatory' sub that remains linked at the top of the banner, but is not in the original sub. If something gets enough purgatory votes (eg. 10+), it moves to that sub, which is still accessible to everyone. If it gets enough insightful and/or funny votes, or while in purgatory (eg. 10+), it remains or appears again in its original sub. In this manner we can see what users don't want, but not necessarily 'downvote' posts. (/u/theameliamay and /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr)

This whole suggestion is just what a brigade or a shill operating multiple sock puppet accounts would want in order to be able to shift and mold what gets seen and what doesn't.

Leave me alone, Bob

Mildly interesting, but it's a distinction without a difference IMO. It could easily be gamed.
