I don’t know if there is a designated place to leave comments about the EA Forum
Your shortform works if you like. Also:
• Use the Intercom box in the bottom right part of your screen ↘️
• Email Aaron or me (the CEA staff who work on the Forum)
• Send Aaron or me a private message on the Forum
The ‘Community Favorites’ section keeps listing the same posts over and over again. I don’t see the point of having a prominent list of favorite posts in the home page that changes so little. I suggest expanding the list considerably so that regular visitors can still expect to see novel posts every time they visit the homepage.
I basically agree with this. For context, I view it as a way to discover posts that you missed if you took a break from the Forum for a while. If you have seen the same ones over and over, it’s no longer serving that purpose. I like Oli’s suggestion about hiding posts you’ve seen N times; you could also do a weighted randomization of the posts. This feature isn’t a development priority for the Forum right now, but if LessWrong makes it we’ll port it. It also might make it to the docket after our current batch of improvements.

Thanks for the reply. I think it’s totally fine for you to deprioritize this suggestion—not very important.
