Hey,
Just wanted to second the idea of excluding unreviewed posts from making the
highlight lists. A couple of times recently I have posted MOCs and then been
pleasantly surprised to see them on the highlight list the next time I went to
Lugnet. But then I reallized it was only because noone seems to highlight
anything, and so the most recent posts to announce.moc go onto the list by
default.
Of course, the answer is for every regular poster to Lugnet to highlight one
thing daily, or even weekly. I think that there is a small handfull of people
who use the highlight feature, and that’s pretty much it. I know that every few
weeks I get on a highlighting kick, and make a real effort to flag everything
cool I see. Then my fervor dies down and I don’t use the feature again for a
couple of weeks.
One possible programming solution would be for the spot/highlights to have a
longer lifetime. I don’t know how long it takes for something to fall off the
list. Obviously you don’t want some really cool MOC to get a bunch of
spotlights and then stay on the list for the next year until something else gets
more. If that were true new stuff would never get on the list and it would be
filled with the coolest work by our best builders (or, sadly, all color debates,
but let’s assume for the argument that people are highlighting cool creations
rather than the debates). But perhaps old spot/highlights, rather than going
away altogether, would just decrease in weighting. That way, even if no one has
spotlighted today, something that got three spotlights last week wouldn’t be
displaced by my new posting to announce.moc that hasn’t been reviewed by anyone
yet.
Oh, on the other issue, I hadn’t noticed it until now, but that randomizing of
Brickshelf galleries is really annoying. It does seem that it is only
scrambling the order of the 24 galleries on a given “recent” page, rather than
bumping something from position 1 to the next page, so it’s not totally
unmanageable, but it is annoying.
