They usually hate it because of the people who post here

I wouldn't say that I hate the site but when I am unhappy with it it's not because of what gets posted but what gets upvoted.

With zero submissions in 12 years I think you have the solution right at your fingertips.

That would only be true if votes were a limited resource. There's no real "competition" here. Something good getting upvoted doesn't stop absolute trash from getting upvoted. donio posting something incredible wouldn't mean it would offset something awful; it would just slightly change the timeslot of the awful thing.

Articles that go deep into technical subjects generally stay on the front page for half of the time of trendy lightweight posts.

Trying to mess with the moderators specifically suggests some kind of deeper ire.
