It seems weird to me that posts don’t appear on the front page unless they’re explicitly promoted by a moderator. I would prefer if my posts automatically appeared on the front page. What is the reason for this behavior? (Unless the new tag system will automatically put posts on the front page by default? I’m confused about this.)
I also find this a bit annoying. When I put a lot of effort into a time-sensitive post I would like it to be visible immediately. My 2018 AI review took four days and multiple emails to get promoted to frontpage—approximately a third of the remaining 2018 giving season.
I realise there is some risk of hypocrisy here, as I help mod the facebook group and we can be slow at times approving posts. But unlike facebook, the forum has a karma system for spam suppression; it seems you could say that any user with >1000 karma or whatever could post directly to main. Moderators could always move it away if the submitter misclassified it.
