Ya - I think #1 is crap. If it gets upvoted then let it stay. Let the people decide what they want - not one person. IF that's the case, just get rid of upvoting completely and make this all about the mods.

That isn't valid when the linkbait nature of titles entices uses to upvote content they otherwise would not have.
