"We even tried prescreening 30,000 secrets a day." and "99% of the secrets created were in the spirit of PostSecret."<p>Is there a point where even 30,000 quality secrets per day are going to be too overwhelming and better off screened somehow anyway?<p>I run sites with anonymous submissions and lose a lot of time screening some really offensive crap, but even with 30k decent submissions per <i>year</i>, I'd be keen to filter those pretty strongly. e.g., if there is no expectation from users that they'll see everything decent that they submit, just approve the first x and flag the rest for later or never. Will even the most committed reader have time to go through 30k a day? As far as I understand PostSecret, they aren't really localised and probably not categorised, right?
This seems to be a general problem with anonymous posting venues. The amount of spam is often inversely proportional to the effort required to distribute the spam.<p>I wonder if the app's user community can fight against it by using a simple karma/points rule like on HN or Reddit. Too many down-votes and the post doesn't show up.
