How are you determining which threads to put on your list?
What if you miss a thread that people want to read about, but you don't think it merits being on your list?
Now we are relying on a "central" source to tell us what is going on....
So rather than verify, we are trusting....
And to take 5 minutes to scan the first 2 or 3 pages in collectibles doesn't really take that long if only looking for 1 or 2 threads that you missed....
and even then, they would be highlighted to show that they have not been read yet
Great points for sure! As DaveF brought up in his thread
here it might be easier for people with less time to have a thread like this available. There is no money or donations requested for my time in doing this so I'm not sure what you need to "trust" here. Verifying is pretty straightforward as I have clear links to the threads and the coin/note/maker/artist's profile or contact pages. Nothing too nefarious going on here.
This thread isn't so much for us everyday readers as I stated before.
Some of us live on the forum and we see each thread go through its course from start to finish until it fades away into page 2. This is not so much for us. This is for the people that may only have 5 to 10 minutes here and there to browse while at work or in their day to day activity.
This thread acts as an AID to what we see everyday. If you are happy dipping into pages 2, 3, 4 then this thread isn't for you. At work and have a few minutes to spare before the boss comes back around? Click here to see if something new popped up while you've been at your 9-5 job.
I am only human (read: not LoyceV) and can only update as I see threads pop up or have time to venture into other pages. I have some hope that something like this actually lessens the daily "bump" of a rather unwanted item if they see it in the list here.
Not every single person's threads will be displayed on here at any one time. That's what
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0 is for.
I'm always willing to be called out if someone believes I am doing something wrong.
How are you determining which threads to put on your list?
I scroll through pages 1, 2, 3, 4 and find auctions/WTS threads that are still going. I would rather give them a little bit of exposure in my thread than have them bump daily. These are sometimes threads that people bump every one or two months and I respect that.
At the same time after a week or two, these will disappear from this thread and a few more will take their place with the same criteria.
The whole point is for this thread and it's listed coins to be everchanging. Otherwise it is not a useful tool to anyone. Yes people are going to still miss items, yes I'm going to miss items, but this thread provides a greater chance that we don't miss as much.
