        Re: I resign from the LPRV committee —Jeff Findley
     (...) I posted a possible solution to some of the Spotlight issues here: (URL) In summary, I think it would be possible to give indivuals control over the weightings used to determine spotlights. This way, the person who wants MOC's spotlighted more (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

      (...) I like the solution but the implementation of the solution might be prohibitive--the coders would have to weigh in to see how feasable that is. If it requires a complete rewrite of LUGNET's current software, well, that'd be a little crazy... (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: I resign from the LPRV committee —Dan Boger
      (...) I think it shouldn't be very hard to implement. Have to add a chaching mechanism so that each member's version would be updated no more than once an hour, and not at all if they're not currently browsing. It would also work as a better gauge (...)

          Re: I resign from the LPRV committee —David Eaton
      (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: I resign from the LPRV committee —Dan Boger
      (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

       (...) Hmm, some good thoughts. Can we move this discussion to lugnet.admin.suggestions, and could someone start a new thread there, capturing the discussion so far? Frank FUT: lugnet.admin.suggestions (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

      (...) Sure - but I thought technical development stuff belongs in .admin.general? Eventually, we'll really need an admin.dev though. (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
    
         Re: Spotlight Filter —David Eaton
     (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Spotlight Filter —David Eaton
      (...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Spotlight Filter —Jeff Findley
     (...) This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking. The calculation of the "top 50", without weightings, shouldn't be much more expensive than the current calculation of the "top 10". This is because you've got to calculate a score for every (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        How to Spotlight (was: I resign from the LPRV committe)e —Rick Clark
   (...) How's about this: Instead of a 10 item list of spotlighted threads, why not two 5 (or however many) item lists? One of spotlighted MOCs, and the other spotlighted non-MOC topics. Shouldn't be too hard to code, and seems to solve the problem (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
