I wonder what would change if, say, all submissions within a time interval (like one hour) were collected and then posted all at once, at the top of the hour, in random order.
- DanI-S 14y agoThat's definitely interesting. Maybe if a random selection of links posted in high volume periods didn't show up until low volume periods, smoothing out the curve?
- ilamont 14y agoHow would that affect flagging?
- makecheck 14y agoThe random posting order could allow the "most objectionable" of all new articles to appear further down the list and last a bit longer than it might have otherwise. I think people watching the new-list will still be thorough; if something shouldn't be posted, it will be flagged eventually.
