Reply To: “Recommended Posts” (was: “Best of the Forums”) – NEWBIES PLEASE RESPOND
You know what would make it easy for everyone to nominate posts? Have a page on the wiki for it. Of course, newcomers wouldn’t look at the wiki, so then we’d have the sticky thread(s) on the forum with the nominated posts/extracts. If we write the nominations on the wiki in html then they could simply be checked for consistency/duplicates/etc (if other wiki editors haven’t already done that) then cut and pasted into a post on the designated day of the week.
Otherwise, I think it would end up being too much trouble for one person each week to either read all the posts or all the nominations, and it would quickly tail off. Especially since copying from a nomination thread to a recommendation thread would be rather laborious using the forum, as there’s no way to view the source of someone else’s post to copy formatting and links, as far as I’m aware.
