I am repeating myself so much, but..
Why is this posted a day early (when the prior thread was posted earlier than it should've been solely so they can start on Monday).? And way more impotantly, why is the open_thread tag not there. Can you please at least include it (it is important for the sidebar functionality, among other things).
I often rant about people posting the open threads incorrectly when there is so little about it (posting it after the previous one is over, making it last 7 days and adding a simple tag), but this is the 3rd OT posted this week. People specifically go out of their way to post an Open Thread and then don't even do the minimum. I was suspicious that people actually do it for the 3-4 karma they get, but Nancy has 18,8k, so this is likely not the reason.
I am sorry, if I sound rude in any way, but please can someone explain this phenomenon to me. I notice that I am confused.
How much appetite would there be for shorter windows on the Open Threads? Having one every 4 days would have some advantages:
I am not sure if you are aware, but the OTs have been a monthly rather than weekly event for years until a few months ago.
At any rate, I am generally not convinced that a further reduction is needed, as it will 1. It might make people even more confused as to when to post them 2. It is generally becomes more 'spammy 'and 3. The benefits of a further reduction are questionable.
