in reply to Rampant Frontpaging

I like this in general, though every so often there is a post with a negative rep that deserves to be frontpaged, either to foster discussion of an unpopular viewpoint, or to serve as a warning to others.

We lose something here if we adopt a rule that prevents either of these.

If we do go this direction, I recommend an escape clause that allows higher-ranked monks to frontpage nodes with negative reps.
