This question is the core purpose of the survey. We have generally moved in the direction of letting users decide what they want to see with votes, but a lot of people prefer a more curated sub: /r/CFB/new becomes clogged and unusable and it gets harder to find meaningful content. What we're asking for from the community is to get a sense of:

  • What content we should actively moderate against and not allow as posts on the sub at all (by making weekly threads for it, redirecting to other subs, or simply removing)
  • What content we should defer to the users on to decide with their votes

Whatever we land on is going to be viewed as too strict by some and too lenient by others. It's actually more important that we are able to clearly communicate our rules and consistently enforce them than that we calibrate how strict they should be just right, that's one piece of feedback that our users have consistently told us over the years.

To clarify, I'm saying the reason some people prefer a more curated sub is that if it's not actively moderated the new queue can get clogged, and that's typically only a concern during the season. I agree it's not a particular issue right now.

Could people who want a more curated sub filter use flairs? Have a new highlight flair - this allows people to filter out content they don't want to see.
