The Front Page

the problem is quality of articles versus what is interesting...

but changing the voting won't help. Dan (as if his head somehow is in the sand) is right, the publish score won't change a thing, either people want to talk about it (leading to votes...romi, lookin at you ; - ) ) or they don't...there's a lot of articles that have a lot of effort and talent, but don't get the buzz for one reason or another (PittsburghGunny's soccer stuff for example).

i guess if we had an article police, it would be better, but no one should be charged with deciding, its unfair...(not even the founders, whom, and maybe i'm wrong about this, don't want to do that because AGM is - "All Sports, All You"...that would defeat the purpose...

As I mentioned before, some articles are total BS, but others are things like "Kevin Garnett was traded to the Celtics" with a news brief and a few notes...maybe 3 or 4 paragraphs...is that an article or was it mindless dribble mostly paraphrased from an AP article?

but it surely is interesting and talked about

you should get credit for writing up a 3 paragraph thing...

maybe thats what the in the news thing is for...because there's not much else to say...

this is where the users need to start getting in on this...a lot of people claims the founders should do this or that but, and once again, let me know if i'm wrong, that they (the founders) would rather let the community run as is (and just keep it from getting too far off course)...

so we decide, essentially, what is and what isn't and how it works...

and (hopefully) as the community grows...well, it'll get harder to manage...

the points system is a just more elaborate (yet easily presented) system than the old one...plus, if you dominate in one category (like edits) you can easily become the #1 user...

KD, you and I and a lot of others don't like it...

I agree, I think having 2 or 3 paragraphs and a link is lame and draws traffic away...but then again, its how you acquire users too...
