tagging
I wanted to tag a website as pornography. After a few hours I was wondering why no one voted for it. When I looked there were over 400k ones waiting on votes. Looks like all of the ones I saw were posted by spammers.
Can we get rid of these spam entries? When you look at their states they have 100k+ submissions which is not possible.
Can we also filter by date so we can see the most recent submissions? There doesn't seem to be any order to them.

Your Domain Tagging system is broken. No one is going to scroll through the thousands of unorganized entries to vote on anything.
I'd recommend doing the following items:
1) Remove any undecided entries that are older than a year. If they've had a year and its undecided then it will never be.
2) Remove any users accounts, submissions and votes that have more than a thousand points. I'd say if a user has a score above 1000 then they are a script(bot). No real person is going to sit there and click on that many items.
3) Put a Captcha for new submissions and votes to make sure a real person and not a script is voting.

This is not really new.

Thanks Rotblitz. I think if they just added a captcha and get rid of ones from bots. There is no real user with over 100,000 items they've voted on.
Or at least put a filter to sort it by date. I develop websites and seeing an unorganized list like that with no options says to me that they didn't give much thought to how the user would interface with the list.
The order looks random. Any unorganized list above 20 or so items is rendered meaningless to anyone other than a computer.
A main reason why they say they can't do anything is because of the tens of thousands of requests they get each day. However, those would be solved by putting some limits on submissions. A limit on daily submissions or a captcha to ensure a human user. It looks like it's all bad data and time to start over with some limits on submissions so real people can vote. Let's get this thing working!
