(...) I think the *best* thing to do would be to have users put their own rankings in. "Posts to .pirates get +2, posts to .fabuland get -1, posts by my buddy get +1, etc". But that means re-ranking things constantly, since there's no time limit (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Oops, my mistake-- I'm told there's a limit of posts within 10 days. Hence the re-ranking has to query all posts within 10 days (roughly 1000 posts at the current level of traffic). (That does admittedly make FAR more sense-- I always thought (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Huh. So, rather than keep an individual's ranked posts, you'd just keep an "everyone with settings in configuration X" sort of thing. Makes sense. I wonder if there could be a limited number of configurations to start with, in case it *is* a (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I wasn't thinking of that, actually, but it could be done. Basically generate a signature of the user's settings, and cache the spotlight for that signature. That would mean that multiple people sharing the same config (skip filter + spotlight (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
