Idea: Add an Oppo COTD to the Best of Oppo. Now how do I go about it? Do I ask for suggestions every day, in a similar way Raphael does for Jalopnik or does someone perhaps want to volunteer to do that/choose it for me? I may scroll through all of Oppo every day to select the posts for the 'best of' but I definitely don't have time to look at all the comments. Thoughts?

its a good thoguht, hard to gather I suppose. I suspect you will indeed simply have to ask for nominations

I like your idea, I just don't really see a way to do it. The way oppo works, it clearly should be a people's choice a.k.a. a vote. Maybe the comment that got the most recommendations? I don't really see that working right now, but maybe that's my lack of imagination.

Besides, keep up the good work with the besst of oppo thing! I really appreciate you doing those every fucking day! How does your employer feel about that? :)

The funny thing is I was just asking myself the other day why there isn't an Oppo COTD. If I can nominate my own comment, here's one. Put a lot of effort into it.

Just put up a post each morning asking for noms (Or the first person to nominate a comment can start a post) and people can reply with suggestions. EOD you can pick one for the 'best of' post?

You could make it a lot easier on yourself by choosing the COTD from only the Best of Oppo posts. You could ask for noms, too.

Probably the least count of work that way. Looking through 24 hours of oppo posts would just make you crazy.

Morning is probably too early, I'd have to reschedule it throughout the day (people wouldn't have seen it) and that's not always feasible (and gets annoying). It'd have to be at a similar time as Raph's post to be effective, I think.

I'm thinking I might do this on a sporadic basis, if I've run into a comment that was really great, maybe I'll run it. Otherwise, I'm not sure the effort required is worth it.

You could do it like they do the Gold Stars on Observation Deck. You pick your favorite, open it up to other suggestions, and then people vote.

I was kind of hoping someone else would volunteer to do it. :) As it stands I think I'll do it on a sporadic basis, if I see something really great I'll add it in, otherwise, I'm not going to put much time into it.
