Please do not put community topics in Spotlight Purgatory
15I just invented that term, and I like it. It’s precisely what Spotlight is. When you put the goat voting topic in there, the back and forth almost vanished, and now you’ve put the blame thread there. I don’t post blames in the blame thread, but you know, a lot of them are funny, and I like reading it.
Please don’t make me sad. Thank you for listening.

Think of the children.
All right, someone post something good to put up there and I’ll put it up there.
@dave
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
@dave All right I posted it as a thread. Do your wizardly thing.
@Barney thanks!
Do we always have to have a broadcast now?
Here’s a thought @dave… Can you fix the spotlight topic to change colors when there is new comments just like all the other threads?
@RiotDemon It used to, way back when. I don’t know why it doesn’t now. It really was more better when it did.
I agree. It wouldn’t be as bad if it was spotlighted but still showed up in it’s usual place in the thread rotation so we can see when new posts are made.
Comments ground to a halt? Seriously? For real? Oh cool! @dave Put the goat blame thread back there ASAP please!!!
@Kidsandliz Hey now! That’s a damn fine looking goat badge ya got there! Or should I say “ya goat there”.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ruouttaurmind I’d still have it whether or not this thread is active.
@Kidsandliz
I blame you that the spotlighted thread presentation doesn’t change color/font for new posts.

@f00l Wrong thread. Don’t accept blame here.
Used to be the broadcast would disappear after you read it, right?
My recollection is that it was explained that way, but I don’t think it ever did work that way. (Or maybe worked that way for only the very first one.)
@medz I seem to recall that as well, now that you mention it.
As someone (I’m too lazy to scroll down and read through the gray overlay on my phone) said, it would be great if it behaved like the other posts–gray when you’ve read it all, and black when there’s something new.
I really want to broadcast this thread…
@Thumperchick
ಠ_ಠ
@Thumperchick Hahaha, do it!
Edit: Oopsie, I guess you are off for the long weekend. Enjoy!
@Thumperchick No you do NOT want to broadcast this thread. I’m not sure why there needs to always be a broadcast thing in any case. I’ve seen days when there wasn’t one, and the sun still rises, and the seasons still change.
I thought you liked me. Why would you want to be mean to me? sniff
@Shrdlu
Prob not personal?
Just a little evil sprite that each of us - or most or us - seem to have: that talks to us once in a while. Most of us don’t act on the suggestions, I hope.
