Stop trying to rely on the hive to vote good stories to the top. Either the democratic approach doesn't work or HN is getting gamed - either way the site is now effectively broken.
A decision has to be made from the top about what HN is all about. If it's startups and business then that's the only type of story allowed. Everything else gets dumped. I don't need another Reddit.
Mods would need strict guidelines about what qualifies and everything even slightly outside of these guidelines gets turfed.
oh and get rid of karma. It's bs. Encourages hivemind like nothing else.
