Site is essentially abandoned tbh

Maybe admins should noindex everything under 10 upvotes to prevent SEO spammers at least who just want links to be somewhere on this website.

We have content admins .... somewhere. They probably haven't been on recently. But the only guy who can really change anything is u/magnora7 and he's not often here. I think he just needs to appoint a new content admin. Personally I'd recommend u/Jet199, she's the site's most popular user and she "death scrolls" saidit. Sounds perfect for getting rid of spam.

Getting rid of everything under 10 votes just means they'll vote 11 times. There's no way to fix this, that's kind of the whole problem.

I didn't mean removing posts, I just meant adding "noindex"/"nofollow" tag to links which have under 5-10 upvotes to make SEO spam pointless (those spammers just want active links somewhere on website for search engines to rank their domains better, they don't even need for people to click on them).
