The weights today are global, there is no facility for an admin to adjust
weights on a post other than by voting him or herself (or not voting). Nor do I
think there should be one.
I honestly enjoy some of the debating and whatnot too, but you and I are in the
minority. What we are hearing from the *majority* of users is that they want to
see MOCs and important community events more than they want to see the 209th
post about how LEGO sold them out by letting them know in advance that a set
might be limited(1), or about how LEGO sold them out by NOT letting them know in
advance that a set might be limited(2)...
It has been a while since these numbers were last tweaked. I am going to push
for leaving them be for a while till we see what effect they have. If this
engenders too much second guessing, the next time they're tweaked maybe I'll
push that we won't post the new weightings right away. Tweaking the weights is a
low effort way to address the problem. More complex solutions require code,
which since we're in a code freeze, is something to be very cautious about
doing.
As for important problems and important announcements.... Actually important
things will get spotlighted up to be visible, even if they start at a handicap.
Some people read a lot of groups.
1 - 10152 Maersk
2 - 10113-1 Cypress trees... remember the uproar about those, when it was
discovered that LEGO knew that they were going to run out but didn't tell
exactly how many were available?
