I believe in the past, Todd has explained that the spotlight on the *front* page
of LUGNET cannot easily reflect someone's personal filter settings, since that
page is actually a flat HTML page that gets refreshed every few minutes (saves
some server load not to generate that page on every hit).
The page for news.lugnet.com, however is dynamically generated (since it obeys
skip-filters), so it's possible that it could be added there.
On that note, however, it would be pretty spiffy if you could have personal
"spotlight settings":
1) always skip specific groups/people
2) give certain groups/people automatic +100/-100 (or whatever number)
3) (ooo, this gets tricky!) according to spotlights I've made, count people
who have voted similar to me's spotlights at +100. (Would take some AI,
which IIRC is really cool stuff, but is more of an utter fantasy due to
processing load)
4) skip spotlighted articles I've already read (not that many people would
use that, but who knows)
5) check for certain words in LUGNET posts, and count that as +100/-100 (so
you could, say, see if someone is talking about a rare topic like the
Town Plan or something)
