If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
What do people think of the “When should I post in Discussion, and when should I post in Main?” section in the FAQ?
I find myself looking less and less in Main because I don’t see much content in there besides the meetup posts. I have a suggestion which might improve this and that is to update the FAQ so that it encourages reposting highly voted content in discussion into Main. This would have couple of benefits:
The problems I see with moving the post from discussion to main once it is highly voted is that:
I think we should get rid of "main" and "promoted" .
Right now there's four tiers: open thread, discussion, main, and main promoted.
at least once a week I see a comment that says "this should be in main," "this shouldn't be in main", "this should be in the open thread," or "this shouldn't be in the open thread, it should be it's own post".
I think the two tier system of open thread/discussion would suffice, and the upvote downvote mechanism could take care of the rest.
