It's about putting a spotlight on QUALITY stories. I don't know if you've noticed this, but what people like and what is good don't necessarily have the biggest overlap. That's part of the problem, actually. People like shit like Jeff the Killer so much that it overshadows other stories.

I'm not entirely against user votes, but this isn't about popularity, it's about merit.
