* I don't know wether the term originated on its own (i.e. Winnie the Pooh getting stuck in his honeypot) but the term "honey trap" was spy terminology during the cold war for a trap that lures the target with sex, but that term is so removed I really don't associate it with this.
Maybe I'm completely fucked in the head or something, but since only one or two other people in this comment thread seemed to catch my drift, I'll be explicit: the specific phrasing of "honeypot video gallery" makes me think "collection of videos that some police or 3 letter agency uses as a honeypot to catch criminals" which translates to "either gore/snuff or child pornography." Either something illegal to look at, or an article discussing the topic that could still ruin a sensitive or vulnerable person's day.
And of course such a thing would never reach 50+ upvotes on HN, but when I posted that comment, it was on the front page with 3 points and 0 comments. It was entirely within the realm of possibility then of being something horrible that a troll had used a voting ring to promote. Maybe now at 56 upvotes this concern seems ridiculous, but I hope my apprehension might make some sense within that context.
(also, I think it's ironic that literally the only time I've ever felt that a different submission title would be warranted, it remains unchanged...)
People can use downvotes however they want.
There is no guideline to communicate.
I can personally see the pros and cons of this stance. The cons are pretty obvious, but the big pro is that there shouldn't be discussions like you and I are having now.
