I knew it was something.

Hate the idea of "the best of SaidIt". It's very subjective and isolating to some.

I'll reconsider when it becomes a problems and we're overrun with stuff like MartinTimothy and BlackMetal, and at that point I think a vote to exclude might be in order instead of a top-50 list.

If you do a top-50 list I'll just post everything in "news" to simultaneously give up and protest, whether it belongs in news or not.

If we want to embrace an anti-corruption identity we should discuss it, and I can make some imagery for SaidIt, and maybe you can persuade me on your selections.

While voting is easy on a voting/ranking forum, I'm not sure how much the voting app is actually used so much as the voices chiming in. Burning Man used to be run as an LLC owned by 6 people who all had veto power so it was entirely run by consensus. It wasn't easy but it was always by consensus. A 7th person would have made it a magnitude more complex. I don't expect SaidIt could ever be consensus built but it's nice to dream.

Yeah you're probably right about the best of SaidIt thing. It would discourage people from starting new subs too. And I don't think magnora7 wants to pitch the whole site as anti-corruption/conspiracy either.

I agree with you about consensus. It'd be great if every major decision was made that way, and even more minor stuff like "what to work on next". I think we're at a point where that can be done more and work as there's enough people here.

That's a good one. Post "SaidIt Survey : What to work on next" because you thought of it.

May I offer you an addition to that? Ask for 3 things, small, medium, and large scale.

Hopefully folks will offer more small things than large to accomplish, and with these 3 levels we can try to accomplish things within the realm of our availability. And by our, I mean your. I'll do what I can but I'm limited.
