All set. --Todd (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight?
 
(...) Um. Why? The goal is really to prevent people from having enough votes to wily-nily vote down all posts by people they don't like, or something. Hence, if you've only got (say) 3 votes per day, it'll take you a *long* time to downvote someone (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight?
 
(...) OK, I also don't like my idea, but I think the spotlighting can be improved. I for one only spotlight if it's not already in the top stories list, maybe some others are the same. And since it seems to only take 3 or 4 spotlights to get there (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight?
 
(...) But for that to work you would need to have a large number of Lugnetters using the spotlight function a lot and maxing out their quota of spotlights. As it is, most people use the spotlight function very rarely, no-one reaches any reasonable (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight? (was: suspended Bricklink shops)
 
(...) I strongly object to this idea. Unfortunately it will be too tempting for certain people to systematicly denote other posts in an effort to get their own posting higher up the hierarchy. That such abject behavour exists within our community, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Un-spotlight? (was: suspended Bricklink shops)
 
(...) Ben - I'm leaning more towards your views than Ross's. Ross's thoughts do have merit though. What if users could de-spotlight posts for their own accounts, but not globally? So, users have a choice to 'remove this post/all posts in this thread (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight? (was: suspended Bricklink shops)
 
(...) Hi Rosco, I think this could end as a very bad idea which leads to a situation like censorship. If a few people think a topic is important, then I want to have the chance to get a hint to find this topic, even if some other people (in same (...)

  Re: Un-spotlight?
 
(...) Perhaps Ross is suggesting something slightly different-- IE that *if* something has spotlight votes, that you can veto them, but that you can't veto non-existant spotlights (in other words you can't downvote a regular post) Of course, the (...)
