But, can we do something about these responses in flame wars being
spotlighted and making it to the top stories area?

Currently, there are variable
spotlight weights provided so that some newsgroups are prefered over other
newsgroups.
The hoped for effect is that MOCs will be on the mainpage more than fruitless
discussion. You’ll notice that several groups have automatic anti-spotlights,
such as otd and .color.
The problem with the recent posting nightmare is that the original post spammed
so many newsgroups, that it got around the -2 spotlight that color usually
carries.
The key problem is that people tend to only spotlight a lot during flame wars -
meaning, they don’t usually spotlight cool MOCs (they tend to either visit the
BrickShelf gallery or make a reply). SO the end result is that every now and
then a flamewar in .color, which gets an auto -2, will gain enough spotlights to
outweigh the .announce.moc +5.
But this is an issue that we are looking into.

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.
