Undoubtedly there are
other interesting threads around Lugnet that should be there and are not.

I personally would be more convinced if you could find some threads that
SHOULD be there, but aren’t. Also include whether those threads have been
spotlighted or not.
If Lugnet is about LEGO, and LEGO MOCs in particular, I think added weight to
MOCs is a fair. Especially since the only messages to really gain spotlights
are MOCs or flame-wars.

Hey,
Sorry to drag up an old discussion, but I just noticed an example of this. In
the past hour I have spotlighted two new
creations--Keith’s Sato Plaza and
James’ trolley--and posted one of my
own--track and field vignettes.
As of 10:30 AM Pacific time, my own post, with no human reccomendations, is at
the top of the spotlight list, and Keith and James, each with at least one human
reccomendation (my own), are not on the list at all. This is because I posted
in .announce.moc with crossposts to .vignette and .sports, whereas Keith and
James posted in .space and .trains, respectively. Now, these two creations were
just recently posted, so I am sure they will pick up more spotlights as the day
goes on and Keith and James certainly have gotten a lot of deserved attention
for their MOCs (or smack, in Keith’s case), so it’s not like they’re hurting or
anything, but it’s just an example of how the group you post in can have as much
influence on the highlight list as human recommendations.
--As an aside, it is a real ego boost and then ego dash to hit refresh on the
front page and notice that the MOC you posted less than an hour ago has
already apparently gotten enough notice to land at the top of the list, and
then reallize that no, it’s just that no one else has posted in
announce.moc in 48 yours.
