(...) <snip> (...) It's a good idea on paper. The issue will arise when Group A has more people than Group B--Group A can always make sure nothing from Group B ever gets highlighted just by everyone in Group A 'lowlighting' the post.

I wish I could cancel out their vote.' Then I realize just how open to abusive (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) I think what he means is to 'lowlight' a post. Like, if you not only think it shouldn't be hightlighted by yourself, it shouldn't be highlighted by some others either. -Suz (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) This is possible. At least to me it is. The drop down highlight menu offers three options: "highlight" "spotlight" and "---" - if you want to un-highlight, change your selection from "highlight" to "---" and hit submit. Works for me. -Lenny (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Why can the highlight state olny get brighter? I'd like to be able to vote to unhighlight. That gives the majority of those that have an opinion to have things the way they want. Respectfully, Kevin (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Is there a way to prevent your own post from being highlighted? I don't like the fact that so much of what went on in admin.general was highlighted. I don't think it was good for the bulk of the people on LUGNET. I also don't think it contributed to (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) My two cents here... I'm not an admin and this just my opinion. If I recall correctly, Space gets it's own newsgroup because it is an official subtheme. Mecha is not an official subtheme and unfortunately gets buried in the .Build newsgroup. I (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

(...) I would assume so. When you create an FTX formatted post, it turns the post into an FTX page. Any valid FTX should be useable, and any dynamic FTX (such as NewsSpotlight) should continue to be dynamic. Frank (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) One thing also to point out, you can put a spotlight for any group on any page, so it would be quite possible to put a lugnet.build.mecha spotlight on the lugnet.space page. Frank (21 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
