I really think this is something that LUGNET members can sort out... if they
really want it sorted out.
‘Worst of the worst’ has three spotlights... and it is in the main page
highlights.
How difficult can it be to spotlight ten things more than that?
Okay: Some people can’t spotlight because they’re members... that can be
corrected by becoming a member.
Okay: Some people can’t find something worth spotlighting... that can be
corrected by posting something worth spotlighting.
It shouldn’t really be necessary to come up with an admin solution for stuff
like this... it’s been done before, and it hasn’t worked yet.
I think ‘voting off’ or ‘unspotlighting’ or ‘darklighting’ or whatever as an
option is unnecessarily negative.
And I think that criticising people who spotlight ‘negative’ things is
unhelpful. If people think spotlighting is important, then so be it - that
three people spotlight something is something to note. But those ‘negative’
spotlights should be overwhelmed by positive spotlights. There is heaps of
stuff worth spotlighting.
Really, if we spotlight the positive enough, and the negative will disappear.

No, I think you’re wrong and users need a way to counter spotlighting in cases
like this. Your post is another example of why a post needs an option to
downgrade it. Some people who agree with you have gone and highlighted it. Now
it looks important, even though there may be any number of people who don’t
agree with you. So, are they supposed to try and highlight Jerry’s post, or
this one, to move it higher up the board?

You don't have to spotlight a "counter view". If you don't want my post appearing in the (...) (18 years ago, 16-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
