I'm not that long here, but if it's not feasible to automatically detect the slopper-sites, maybe a rule could be introduced that people can report on?
This way the mod has an easier time identifying the things that are unwanted by the community.
This was actually the solution I had in mind. Id be happy to report the articles, if there was an actual rule to point to.
I'd go so far as to blacklist individual sites based on a threshold upvote on the top negative post (can be automated), and give a mechanism to undo it, poll perhaps, if people care enough they'll protect. It will naturally tend to negative, but given 90%(+ these days) of everything is crap -Sturgeon's law - it should work out.
