First, I do understand that you must keep the demands on the server as small as possible for some of the things we are talking about when rating members. And I couldn't agree more strongly with keeping "expenses" to a minimum! Might it be simpler to have the field tag the board rather than the post? That way Matt could decide what makes a board a stock board or a non-stock board. Less overhead too (I think). No chance of abuse and fewer management issues for Matt. Rarely do you see stock related posts on the Q&A board and OT posts on Stock related boards *should* get deleted (providing a double whammy for the potential abuser!). I agree with the idea of having a rating system. Just trying to help find a way to keep the list more relevant to the new users needs. Any chance of luring Shadkin here to IH?
