> Unless I completely misunderstood your article, you are suggesting the admins put out links to things they do not approve of to see who screws up and upvotes them.
Great! We now know that you did not completely understand my article. :)
The whole point of implicit honeypots is to leverage the fact that articles are already making it to the front page that violate guidelines (e.g., politics, religion, etc). The admins can then flag these articles, so as to not have to spam their own site.
I have to say, I tend to partially agree with both of you: admins shouldn't be submitting articles that won't add to the discussion, so I would drop the first part of your proposal.
For submissions that have already made it into the site and are detected to be honeypots, those votes and flags would be used to punish users.
