I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that YOU are completely "chock full" of valuable ideas.

I think Bob was referring to Photo of the Moment.

We should not remove Photo of the Moment because it is the most unique part of the frontpage in terms of freshness. However I would not be opposed to tweaks being made if this trend keeps on going. Fact: The bad photo of the moments often only have one vote. So if the system required two votes to make it in, this might fix the problem. The unintended consequences to this is that popular people might have a serious advantage to everyone else making them stay on the frontpage (no offense to the popular folks). I may have a few other ideas to help combat this issue.

My biggest gripe about POTM is that it includes user profile photos and photos from someone's dipshit wildflower album.

If the flower photos were taken in someone's yard, I see the point, but if they were taken on the mountain, they are part of the mountain. Wildflowers, wildlife, glaciers, and waterfalls are all part of the mountain (if taken on the mountain), though some get carried away with this. That's my own opinion.
If your opinion is different, I'd suggest refraining from the name calling, especially since some of your own submissions are of trees and flowers and half of your mountain submissions wouldn't qualify as a mountain in most people's book (several of mine [including one that I will add soon] probably don't either, but I know it's a lot less than half).
I don't agree with everything people submit either, but in the future, please refrain from name-calling of contributing members. All of us slip up at one time or another (I've done it before too), so all is forgiven at this time.

PS, I don't really care for the POTW, POTD, the POTM either, but if you don't like it, why look? I don't get all the BS about people leaving just because they didn't like whatever photo was featured on the front page.
If you saw an ugly car on the road, are you going to quit driving?
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, has a different idea of what SP should be. Unfortunately, we can only try to make as many people happy as possible.

why not eliminate "power" all together?
Is the site about the climbing or is it about the mountains?
When we say that it is about the beta and one should not post a page about a mountain they haven't climbed, that says it is not about the mountains it is about the climbing. If that is true, then the photos of the flowers don't belong. On the other hand, if it is about the mountains, then we should have pages for all mountains regardless of whether anyone has climbed them.

get rid of power/vote weight
get rid of scores.
instead of a score, you'd have "xxx people liked this" - like on Mountain Project.

comments?
if a page has more 'don't likes' than 'likes'?
make a 'report bad submission' button?
MP may not be flashy and full of pretty pages, but something keeps it going.
have you seen the traffic there?
