Why not have system that allows one or two posts on the front page with certain terms instead of blanket censorship?
if (termCountOnFrontPage > 2) remove();
else letItRide(); if (termCountOnFrontPage > 2) remove();
else letItRide();Relevance of the posts on frontpage is also affected by problems I described above, meaning the thread that shouldn't be posted in /r/technology has (almost) equal chance of being on frontpage as the one that's relevant.
I have no idea how to solve the issue, maybe a modqueue like page where moderators can isolate specific threads until they're approved?
But just removing all threads if 2 (similar) already exist has too many issues.
