Idea #1800: Another Brainstorming Search Order

Written by jsatkanpak the 29 Feb 08 at 20:39. Category: Brainstorm.
Related to: Nothing/Others. Status: New

Description

"Most Popular Ideas" is not necessarily the most useful search. It could be that these ideas have been around a long time, so have had more votes.

I would rename the current "Most Popular" to "Most Voted For" and make the "Most Popular" list report the order in (# of votes over time listed). This would allow very recent posts that are getting a lot of votes to appear at the top of the list.

Otherwise, the newer posts seem to slide into oblivion on the "Latest Ideas" search, regardless of actual user interest.

Anything to diversify what users first see on hitting the site will benefit the statistical balance of the voting. The worst thing that could be default is the 'highest score' for reasons outlined in several suggestions. This idea is the right one I think for the front page to enable maximum diversity while retaining a useful / professional front page.

A "Display a random idea" option would be great to avoid unfair positive feedback on the best ideas.
