I agree though I also find that down-bidding being "frowned upon" is part of the problem. If I see an article that I find contributes nothing in terms of determining an accurate prediction I will just leave it, but actually, I would like to downbid it because I find the information not to be useful.
The problem though that this is frowned upon, "Hey, why you downbid me?! :(" and largely ineffective as it's very easy for users, myself included to simply upbid the front page's worth of articles to pick up residual DKP when in a hurry. Downbidding in this case not only has no effect, it also costs you!
Not an easy problem to address but perhaps a limit would help the signal to noise ratio.
