Post History

I agree that such a front page looks bad.

I also agree with a [comment](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/5147) that trying to simply *hide* poorly received posts is hiding the problem instead of solving it. It's sweeping the problem under the rug, which is just going to leave us with an odd-looking rug along with the problem we already had.

In my opinion, **what we need is some way to *improve the average quality* of posts** (in this case, specifically top-level posts such as questions), which was the motivation behind my proposal for implementing *some kind* of [hobbling of users who consistently post low-quality content](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284472).

The downvotes *themselves* aren't the problem, but rather a symptom. Rather, the problem is that (a) people repeatedly encounter posts, especially questions, that appear to them to be downvote-worthy, and (b) a rather small number of users flood sites with low-quality questions *and then also often do not respond to feedback aimed at improving those questions*. The net result of those is a front page filled with low-quality, net downvoted, sometimes closed, questions.
