How about board reviews?

A brief description of the board that show more than just the topic and name, but factors including:

>General Quality of Posting

>Speed of the Board

>CSS

>Board Owner Behavior

>Best Traits

>Worse Traits

>You might like this board if you like…

>If you like this board you might also like…

and so on.

These could either be made by the board owner or made by the users and approved by the board owner. Naturally, there should be a set of standards, like maximum length. Preferably, they would follow the idea of the stickies, with different threads for different topics, and perhaps one review per post. If possible, a comment by the board owner of the board being reviewed could be included.

It is predictable that this could be abused in some way, but as long as the BO keeps a close watch, it could be a valuable resource.

That's a really cool idea, but the board already has a little trouble with scalability due to the "Post too long" issue. I don't want the first and last board in a category to get unfair exposure. It'd be a good idea for another board, though.

Why are you so based.

What about giving each category its own separate user review thread?

Since there have been three different IDs responding to this idea, I think I will. If a certain board uses it to shill or the criticism becomes less constructive or intellectually honest, I'll shut it down.

I'm throwing my support behind this idea, but I do agree that it would have to be monitored pretty tightly. It'd be a very popular idea on this site and anything popular tends to attract the rusemen among us.

So popular that absolutely no one wrote a review for the weeks I had it up and running. All I got was people posting "add board pls" in the review threads, which isn't what they were for.

Someone will have to make another board for it and let me know. I'll link the reviews here, but they're not coming back as a part of /dir/.

Well it can't be popular cause it doesn't exist yet silly!

Also you might get a bit more people to pay attention now that your ad is up.

It existed from the 7th of last month until last week.

Maybe I'll do that. If you all want, you can make reviews in another thread or something, and I'll link them or arrange them in the morning. Too tired to put the system back up again.

you could just make one thread for board reviews, if it catches on, then you could make a thread for each section like before

You all are free to create threads on it, too. I might make little summaries for boards that are similar to one another.
