How about a Repost Option? (Content is seen and then gone in a Flash, but what if you could Repost it)
Ok all I am on a Brain Storming kind of night. I have also noticed that there does not seem to be an option to Repost any of your Content. New Content is always Great but if there are only a few people on and all of them are creating content, then yours will be simply shuffled to the bottom and hardly seen. Maybe a system to allow users to repost an Article/ Content Say 5 times in the course of a week (Again only an Idea), or 10 times a month. Something where they have the chance to show their hard work to more people, than the few that are on at any given time.
After a post is displayed to the community ,this particular post can not be reposted for 24 Hrs and then you have the choice if you want to use one of your five reposts to put it out there again, now with a new Audience. It does have to be Limited, because some will try to abuse this privilege. This is why only 5 reposts a week or even a month would keep that down. It would also give the people who spend Hours on their Articles a chance to show it to more than a handful of people.
Again this is another Idea...
Tell me what you think...
Thank you for bringing this up, I think its a wonderful idea. I've been struggling on here with getting votes on posts that I put a lot of time and effort into, only to be quickly pushed down the list. This may just be what us smaller fish need to gain momentum into the big(ger) leagues.
What about making this happen automatically if you hit at least some minimum upvote threshold? E.g. 5 upvotes = free bump to top of new after 8 hours? That's way zero value posts cant be reposted but hidden gems get a chance to be seen by a different audience.
That is a great idea. if you want content to get the audience it need, there must be a way for more people to see it. It can not simply vanish after an Hour.
I agree, this could really help. People write fantastic Content and only a few people see it depending on the time of day posted. Here is a chance to show it a few more times to get a bigger audience.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
