As someone posting my own creative fiction here, among other things that I find interesting, I wholeheartedly agree. There probably needs to be some more checks and balances in the system. I can see already that there must be a lot of people just scanning and up voting without really reading posts in order to try to be first. It's a temptation for me too, then I think about what that means and stop myself.

But I think over time the kinks will be worked out. Or another platform will come along with better ideas.
