Dec 22, 2014 at 15:09 comment added Monica Cellio @Raphael I've made a separate post for weighting the sites: meta.stackexchange.com/a/244460/162102
Dec 1, 2014 at 10:15 comment added Zhaph - Ben Duguid Agree that this is a problem: we had a user leave LEGO Answers because his highly rated answer was appearing above his SO answers on some network lists :(.
Nov 30, 2014 at 22:21 comment added Monica Cellio @Oded, please consider site weighting as Raphael suggests in the prev comment. This doesn't need to be dynamic & IMO should be per-site not per-tag. I'm thinking that a query that runs once per day (or even once per week) that computes a scaling factor for each site, that the "top" lists can then factor in, would be enough. Some of my best posts are on small sites where vote counts just won't get the post onto that list, but the answer isn't to blanket-exclude my big sites -- those are valuable too, but shouldn't dominate. In a way it's similar to the HNQ problem & can be solved similarly.
Nov 28, 2014 at 8:26 comment added Raphael Maybe we could do away with absolute numbers and use a figure relative to the average/median score on that site (or even for that tag)? That would not solve the "what interest does the bicycle community have in my Unix answers?" problem but would tackel the difference in voting behaviour/scale.
Nov 27, 2014 at 20:54 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' @episanty Not really: if I really cared about that I'd use different accounts with different credentials. Rather, I want to not thrust unrelated accounts into the viewer's face. Having them all in my network profile is fine, having them all on my profile on one site isn't so great, having the highly biased view of top-scoring posts is yucky.
Nov 27, 2014 at 20:51 comment added E.P. @Gilles So, in essence, you want to be able to hide connections between accounts?
Nov 27, 2014 at 20:40 comment added Oded StaffMod I believe the idea is to have one global exclusion list that will apply to both the communities list and the top network questions list.
Nov 27, 2014 at 20:35 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' @Oded From the network-wide list? But why would I want to show my CS research for gamers? Or from each site individually? You mean I have to configure 128 sites and counting?
Nov 27, 2014 at 20:19 comment added Oded StaffMod We are working on being able to exclude sites from the list.
