Just more coding suggestions:
I think that in the "someday" category when/if personal skip-filters are
employed to the spotlight, perhaps there could be an opt-in setting that
prevents replies from making it to the spotlight list.
In response to the "wow, what a great zinger!" comment, I think I might like to
see a few options:
Instead of just "nothing/highlight/spotlight", how about some other fields:
- I agree/nothing/I disagree
- post type (funny/informative/something cool/etc)
In the color debates, I've often hesitated from highlighting/spotlighting a post
because my gut says "I really, really agree with this message", but at the same
time, I don't necessarily want to say "everyone should read this post". That
plays especially into off-topic.debate, where I find I'm lacking a way of
supporting a post without either 1) posting a reply or 2) spotlighting it and
(in theory) recommending that everyone read it.
