    Additionally, moderate stories! Soylent has had a fairly dismal signal to noise ratio for stories, given how much enthusiasm and motivation I'd expect from a new editorial team. LaminatorX managed to fill the entire front page with crap about a week ago - please provide a metric other than number of comments to let editors tell if their stories are interesting.

    Oh, come on, they weren't all crap. One was a dupe of the previous day's interesting story!

    However, that's a little unfair to Laminator_X, who after all is putting some real effort in, even if it's misdirected presently. At the moment, we're just sitting here eating and or throwing peanuts.

    If I had to express my nebulous opinion on this matter in 5 words, it would be: "I value quality over quantity".

      Indeed. Maybe Laminator_X didn't reach our high standards on that particular day, but we can still recognise his efforts to contribute something positive, and be respectful of that. While I'm sure everyone appreciates the constructive critism, we shouldn't simultaneously attack the people who are at least trying. The last thing we need are more people giving it in.

      So to all the SN contributors, well done on making it this far. We do appreciate it!

      I agree with "quality over quantity". I would be fine with half of the stories that we get if it would mean higher quality of stories and discussion.
