I can't see why that would be bad? It's not like Juggle is trying to attract this kind of traffic - the teen douche crowd. My work here is, finally, done. |

Letting people post polls like that gets them hits, that being on the front page serves no purpose. I'm pretty sure they are well aware of it, they just are either (a) just don't have to fix it (b) don't have the resources to fix it that does not change the fact it should be altered. |

It shouldn't be on the front page. I fully agree. Juggle should be trying to attract a more specific audience, and not just any internet user, which hurts the site overall.

We would actually have to establish a system, but any system is better than the status quo thus far Instead of being able to spam comments on a debate to bump it to the front page it should include a number of factors. Views, comments, likes, etc and then base it on that. That is just off the top of my head, there will be much discussion about the actual system and how we should change it when it's able to be changed. I think a solid start is to do what i mentioned and add more criteria for what is featured. |

The most popular would only increase in popularity. The front page needs some changes, and this would maybe work for the "debates." But it won't help the racist pictures at all... |

I had this discussion with a friend a while back and the only thing we could come up with was only allow polls that have been approved by selected members to make it up there to get rid of the spam there is no way to actually reduce the polls or ops other than getting someone to filter through it or put more mature members in the section so it balances it out. the other option is remove the ops and polls off the front page entirely |
