Like every single site like this, the problem is that the public is ready to ingest content faster than content becomes available, or rather, faster than worthy news is made, so in the lack of real gripping news, things of general interest fill the gap
So maybe we should try to slow things down by limiting number of votes/submissions per person per day?
If someone could submit only one story per day maybe he would do that more carefully?
The same applies to votes - with limited number of votes available someone would consider more carefully what to spend his votes on?
And as additional benefit making things slower on HN could have positive effect on our productivity ;).
