How do stories land on the 'Hottest' homepage?
We've come up with an algorithm that's designed so the newest, most popular stories land on the 'Hottest' homepage. This is a democratic process, however, there are lots of things taken into consideration, e.g., the number of and votes, number of comments, number of members who email a story to their friends, etc. We're not perfect, but we think you (and our algorithm) are pretty good!
What are the 'Greatest' and 'Latest' Stories?
Think of the 'Greatest' stories as our greatest hits of all time, and the 'Latest' stories as the newest stories, hot off the press.
What and who are + Energy Leaders and how do I become one?
+ (Positive) Energy Leaders are the most active members of the community. They are the members who submit links, email stories to friends, comment, and vote. Since we use a top secret formula to calculate + Energy, we can't tell you much more, however, we can tell you that all forms of participation are taken into account. To get started, all you need to do is join!
What about spam or "bad" posts?
We don't like spam and we do our best to control it, however, we still need your help. If you suspect that a submission is spam we'd appreciate if you could help us out by clicking 'report' and by voting that a link has - Negative Energy. The same holds true if a post is completely meaningless or has a description that is incomprehensible. We'll do our best on our end to control spam if you do yours - do we have a deal?
