ranking

no referral links. not once. not ever. permanent. This affects how posts get sorted and removed, so it belongs in the open. Complained about a rule without proposing…

Putting this to the board: we crossed 800k members and nothing about the rules changes. What the ranking does, in case you assume it is hiding something. The hot…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: how do you actually verify moderation. Argued against the strict evidence rule for a year. Then read a supplier thread on…

Thinking out loud about this: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about meta is guesswork. Sorted by controversial for a week and found four of the best…

proposal — a flair for rules posts, and here is what changes in practice if it goes ahead. Had a post removed, went to modmail, got a specific explanation and disagreed…

the disclosure question that gets asked weekly, answered properly — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Argued against the strict evidence rule…

how the ranking actually works, with the formula. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail…

Something I keep coming back to: ranking is doing more work than we give it credit for. Had a post removed, went to modmail, got a specific explanation and disagreed…

the meta thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. Moderation of individual cases…

why we removed your post and why we will say so publicly. Disagreement welcome, but bring a concrete alternative wording. Read the ranking formula out of scepticism and…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: should c/progresspics stay text-only forever (yes). The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document, a…

proposal — a flair for wiki posts. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Sorted by controversial for a week and found four of the best…

the wiki advice in here is 3 years out of date. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. 3 years. Those are measured, not estimated, and not…

proposal: auto-flair any vendor post with no batch number. Short post, long comment section, probably. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is…

Putting this to the board: proposal — a flair for ranking posts. Submissions older than a year are archived: readable, linkable, and closed to new comments. That keeps…

The title is the whole question — are the c/vendorvetting evidence rules too strict (no) — but here is why I am asking. The ranking functions are published: the hot…

the modmail-first policy and why it exists. Disagreement welcome, but bring a concrete alternative wording. How a rule actually changes here, since people assume it is…

Asked about four times a month, so here it is in one place. All four sorts are pure functions of score, up/down split and timestamp. There is no personalisation, no…

three years of wiki threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Vendor source pages carry an outbound link to…

The title is the whole question — how do you actually verify disclosure — but here is why I am asking. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is…

The title is the whole question — how much of what we believe about ranking actually comes from disclosure threads — but here is why I am asking. A rule-change proposal…

Something I keep coming back to: three years of meta threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. Had a post removed, went to modmail, got a specific…

meta — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. How a rule actually changes here, since people assume it is…

the archive-after-a-year policy: keep, change, or scrap — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. What the ranking does, in case you assume it is…

The title is the argument: the ranking question that gets asked weekly, answered properly. Here is the rest of it. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording…
