Ah yeah sorry I was unclear! I basically meant what you said when I said âat their discretion, but starting conservativelyâ â so we are starting to take âqualityâ into account when deciding what stays in the Frontpage, because our readersâ time is valuable. You can kind of think of it like: if the mod would have downvoted a post from a new user, the mod can instead decide to move it to âPersonal blogâ. I think itâs possible that this is actually less discouraging to new users than getting downvoted, since itâs like youâre being moved to a category with different standards. You can check our work by looking at what gets categorized as âPersonal blogâ via the All posts page. :)
I expect this will affect only a small proportion of new users.
