The trick is to encourage NEW stuff, or at least stuff that has not been posted around town about 2,000 times. Gary brings up this point in his "confirmed kill" post below. I have fun looking at things I have not seen before, like the "antenna" on the ocean floor. Things like the Face on Mars have been beaten to death. I personally am giving it no more thought until I see pictures from a rover wandering around the top of that mesa.
Possible recommendation: A "been there, done that" vote on a particular thread. If enough people have had enough of a particular topic, the thread is removed (maybe leave just the original post on in red ink as a warning to others.) How many people? More than one or two for sure to keep professional skeptics (people more familiar with this stuff than I am) from trashing every thread at once. For example, I had not seen the hieroglyph bit before, although others have. Other ideas?
