What's to prevent low-content posts, memes, silly pictures, trolling, etc. from showing up on hubski? I don't think hubski has anything to prevent that at the moment.

What I'd love to see on here, or even reddit for that matter, is a way to tag posts. Off the top of my head, I'd love to see a little carrot drop down item that would let you tag posts with things like meme, meta, troll, low-content, off-topic, etc. Let the group moderate, and then let users decide on a threshold for when something gets hidden. Only let people tag stuff that have been registered longer than a week say, to prevent people from abusing it.

People will always flock to content. It's why I went to digg orginally, it's why I went to reddit when digg became memes and pics and recycled internet funny pictures, and it's why I came to hubski when reddit became that. The cycle will continue as long as people who post great content post it here. I'd just like a better way to filter out the dumb eventually.
