Whenever I hear people like this now, I think of the xkcd on Survivorship Bias. It's not always accurate to the situation, but it's an interesting concept that I didn't have a name for before the xkcd.

If it asks you to log into your Google account, I'd be concerned that it's a phishing domain.

But it's a legit Google Docs link, and it's a public file (no account required), which means, at absolute worst, they might see that your ip or Google account clicked on it.

Xenu isn't mentioned till the high OT levels

On the flip side, I've seen smaller forums with a strong community, moderate moderation, and no voting do quite well. There are definitely ways to handle it without voting, and I do agree that voting is a crummy signal - it's easy to implement, but leads to echo chambers.
