Quote - Anyone can click a button to cast a vote for a whole variety of reasons, including reciprocal voting and so on.

Yet another opinion responding after not understanding what I said. I didn't say you get to pick what you vote on. I said the opposite. You are presented with an item at random. How do you manage reciprocal voting then?

Quote -  You only need to go to the galleries to see how that works: it seems to kill variety in the top ranks. I don't find it useful for finding art I want to look at. I wouldn't find it useful for finding products I want to buy.

Nor would a slap on the head be useful, and it's just as much not what I said.

Quote - I think the most valid vote is the one you cast with your wallet.

You're missing the point. I have gift certificates to use, but I can't find anything I want to buy because it is too tedious to click past pages and pages of crap. I bought one thing in the last year, and that was because I saw people rendering with it in the forum, not because I saw it in "What's new surrounded by crap".

Quote - We already have a "what's hot" category. But a best sellers list that filters out reasonably old content but extends in time a bit longer than the "what's hot" category might be quite useful.

That would be useful too. I need somebody to filter the crap out. The ratio of crap to not crap looks like 10 to 1. Of the good stuff (what's hot), a lot of it is old - saw it already  - don't want it.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
