It doesn’t appeal to me because I want higher info density, and this reduces it—I could see others liking it .
It’s not obvious to me that you can’t just hide low karma posts as an option—some options: 1. All first-time posts are reviewed by the forum team, who can upvote things and put them above the threshold 2. Make the low karma/low user karma post hiding disabled by default 3. Try out an option for a bit and remove it if it’s not working well
We’ll definitely be doing (3), hopefully in the next few weeks.
“It doesn’t appeal to me because I want higher info density”—fair!
How about a normal list of posts but still on a ‘featured’ page. In other words, these would be the best posts, chosen by the Forum team.
Sort of like the Digest, but all the time, and without the organisation updates and most of community, and with the addition of good recent discussion.
I could see that being good. I think I’d still prefer the filter-out-under-n karma option because I understand what’s actually going on under the hood. I expect I’d prefer it to the current front page.
