"Good threads"
I run a busy board, but nobody uses thread rating (and who can blame them). So, I'm currently working on a way to create a list of "good threads": so that if someone wants to read the best threads of the day, they can quickly and easily find them.
I want to make this un-hackable, so people can't bump their threads to the top. Currently, it bears the following in mind (in no order): 1. How many views has it had? 2. How many replies has it had? 3. How old is it? Just this, so far, has worked out quite a strong algorithm for sorting 'good threads'. I want to add, in future: 4. What is its thread rating? 5. How many people rated it? ...and... 6. Who has taken part ...we have three member categories: moderated members (mostly newbies), normal members, and 'real name' members (who are consistently posting well and also use their real names). That means I can add extra 'points' to the thread for postings by 'real name' members. What does anyone else think about this... mad idea? |

Me too. I've added the "who's posted" thing, which has made quite a difference to the quality of threads it chucks up.
Now, to release it and see what people think on the board... |

Let's count...
1 for the forum title 1 to add up all the recent thread info 1 to look at recent threads info individually ->1 for each thread (to work out posters) ...so not too many. It's currently ignoring thread rate. Now public... www.mediauk.com |

If I were you I would use a mechanism to encourage or force thread rating instead. For example you may consider making thread rating mandatory whenever user replied that thread.. My 2 cents.. |
