  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 (...)

  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 (...) (20 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.

In general, though, I think the best solution (assuming we need one), is for more people (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight?
 
(...) I was really implying the number of votes, period. So if you see 3 cool MOC's you want to highlight, and 3 threads about politics you want to un-highlight, you can pick to highlight 2 MOCs and 1 politic thread, or all 3 politic threads, or (...)
