Along with growth comes the inevitable community challenges which seem to occupy more and more time.

Polls are voted up by the community, and instead of a down button we have a "mark as inappropriate" to help monitor for abuse. Some folks have started to use that link to try to get rid of polls they don't agree with.

I'm a fan of PG's "Things you can't say" premise (http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html), and I'd love to try to guide the site in that direction.

The ideal would be that abusive questions are modded down, but "questions you don't like" aren't. It doesn't mean they'll be voted up and become popular enough to run, but it means they won't be squashed either.

I guess one option would be to remove the "mark as inappropriate" completely, and/or have trusted community members able to remove questions if needed.

Thoughts? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
