3/18/2015 12:39:56 AM Posted: 3 years ago Whether it be the opinion, forum or debate category, how do they make front page? If you look at the debates on the front page, they all have a relatively high number of views and/or comments, but I'm not sure if this is actually just Because they are on the front page. I haven't really tried to find a pattern in the polls section but when I look at the opinions section, the process of choosing a 'front pager' seems fairly random. For instance I recently made an opinion called "is innocents simply lack of knowledge?" which made it onto the front page briefly while it was brand new. So basically I'm not sure if the Mods chose based on their preference of if the site has a process of choosing based on popularity or randomly...ect. Anybody know the answer?

3/18/2015 10:49:31 AM Posted: 3 years ago For debates at least it's a mixture of views and comments, which more weight being on comments I believe.
Opinions and polls don't really matter, since we're purging them off of the site anyway :P Want to debate? Pick a topic and hit me up! - http://www.debate.org... |

Okay, I'll stop, lol. But you have to admit that the polls/opinions section is the epicenter of suffering. That joke was too easy. ~ResponsiblyIrresponsible DDO's Economics Messiah |

It used to be entirely views based and so people would do this to bump really trollish debates to the front page. Got fixed eventually and now it's almost entirely comment based (I think views still kinda factor in but not sure). Want to debate? Pick a topic and hit me up! - http://www.debate.org... |
