Hello

I just saw 4 posts from the same person in the Top Stories, all posts were 5
hours old and had receive 0 or 1 human recommendation.

It's
solely about the Top Stories rating system.  I suggest we can't highlight or
spotlight our own posts.  I laso suggest that the softener should be heavier to
prevent a post from being in the top stories with only one recommendation.

Hey Terry,

I actually don't think this is a software issue.  At some point this weekend my
"Scenes from Los Angeles" post was the number one post, and it had only 3
votes.*  The current top post (Tony's great ship) has only 5 votes (one of them
mine).  So unless people start voting, posts will make it into the top of the
list with minimal human reccommendations.

I really think that four Lugnet members could get together and take over the
highlight list by coordinating their spotlighting.  It'd be pretty funny if they
did this with a less popular theme.  Do I have three compadres who will join
with me to spotlight every Belville post?  :D

*It's always a big ego boost to see your own work at the top of the list,
followed by a big letdown when you reallize that only really means that like 2-4
people out of the 2732 Lugnet members liked it.  :/
