Maybe have them
- delete posts that are meaningless (memes, 'me too', 'you suck', etc - aggressive post removal may 'feel' like censorship but I think it would be great, even if only to keep threads small
- move 'meta' posts into a separate thread (each article would have two threads - the 'regular' comments, and the 'meta' or 'off topic' section
- temp- or permaban accounts that post many comments that have to be deleted
- more controversial - investigate algorithmically found voting patterns, e.g. the same accounts always upvoting comments by the same user(s)?
Combined with a 'you get two posts for each post that scores +2 or higher, or 1 post every 3 days' to limit the amount of posts and incentivize people to may high quality posts (or at least posts that they think will score well).
