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 (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

If it requires a complete rewrite of LUGNET's current software, well, that'd be a little crazy... (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)

That would mean that multiple people sharing the same config (skip filter + spotlight (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | (...) 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)

(That does admittedly make FAR more sense-- I always thought (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

This is because you've got to calculate a score for every (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
