SoylentNews is people

In the ongoing battle of site improvements and shoring up security, I finally managed to scratch a long-standing itch and signed the soylentnews.org domain. As of right now, our chain is fully validated and pushed to all our end-points.

Right now, I'm getting ready to dig in with TheMightyBuzzard to work on improving XSS protection for the site, and starting to lay out new site features (which will be in a future post). As with any meta post, I'll be reading your comments below.

    Thank-you for continuing to scratch your itches publicly in useful ways.

    As for the suggestion: maybe it might be a useful addition to allow votes or moderation on articles? You can probably get substantively the same information from page-views, but having explicit upvotes and downvotes on articles gives a quick pointer to topics and/or articles that people care about/generate traffic. I'm not suggesting ranking articles in order of popularity, or making unpopular ones invisible - just give a lazy method of feedback that is easy to collate, rather than writing a comment. Feel free to ignore, shoot down in flames, or point out it has been discussed before and rejected.

    Yes, I like the upvote idea. As an occasional submitter (which I'm hoping to get back to soon... so busy) that kind of feedback let's you know if you're submitting stuff people want to read, but maybe not comment much on.
