Damnit, I’m hungry again.

And normally to cure that, you’d eat a Snickers. But not in this case! It was a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , one that made me hungry until I passed out. Luckily I woke up in time to run this Oppo COTD.

Anyways, said post was by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , who took !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! w’s joke and completed it with a twist:

Readers: tomorrow at 12:00 PM EST will be the OppositeLock Comment Of The Day Candidate post! Remember to keep your eyes peeled for the best comments and make sure to post links to them in the comment section! Winners will be determined and posted at 7:00 PM EST! Don’t miss it!

*Wasn’t the main winner because this was a comment from yesterday, even though it was posted after yesterday’s Oppo COTD runnings. This is due to the way FP COTD has operated, but tell me below if you think that should change. This is still new, so I’m open to new ideas. But before any other new ideas, first just tell me if we should still nominate/ reward comments from the day before if they were made after the Oppo COTD runnings for that same day. Thanks!

Last 24 hours starting some number of hours before the last was voted on.

Daily might be too frequent. Maybe a weekday and weekend one?

Weekend??! I have a life too! ;) But it’s gonna be all weekdays. Do you think comments from the day before the next COTD posts should be allowed as long as they’re after the day before’s COTD posts?

I was thinking more along the lines of doing it for week days (M-Thu) and weekends (F-Sun). Votes could be Mondays and Fridays for the immediately preceding period.

I’d cut submissions off some amount of time before the vote (maybe just do it by date for these longer periods). With daily, I’d think a cutoff an hour or two before the vote and anything after the cutoff could be nominated for the next one.

I still think daily is too often for us.

I’ll just do it from Mon-Fri at 7:00 PM est and take the weekends off because that’s how FP does it, and it’s the easiest for me to do because it fits right in my daily schedule. Thanks for the idea though!

This would save you having to do three of them. Should be less likely to burn out the smaller community, too.

Well, currently we have about a 4:1 shitpost:quality ratio and about a 10:1 quality:COTD thread ratio. That seems a bit spammy. There just aren’t that many of us.

There’s only 2 posts related to it each day.... And shitposts are 24/7 because lol...but still, this is normal for there to be a COTD every day, candidates post at 12:00 and the winner at 7:00.... That’s not bad at all.
