| Sep 29, 2016 at 13:32 | comment | added | Fiksdal | @MonicaCellio Are you saying no question should be "hot" for that long? Well, I think really epic questions with great answers may deserve to be hot for three or four days. | |
| Sep 28, 2016 at 18:31 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Possibly 40 hours is too long for any question to be hot, so that might be a self-correcting problem. :-) | |
| Sep 28, 2016 at 17:56 | comment | added | Fiksdal | @MonicaCellio Take a look at the current HNQ list. Look at questions that are older than 40 hours. The vast majority of them are protected. | |
| Sep 28, 2016 at 2:20 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @Fiksdal do they? I know some do, but I don't think it's a large proportion on the sites I frequent. I'll try to pay more attention. Unfortunately, we can't science it because hotness data isn't in SEDE. | |
| Sep 27, 2016 at 23:37 | comment | added | Fiksdal | +1 for almost everything, but I'm not sure I like the "protected" part. Almost all popular HNQs get protected, right? Wouldn't all those be removed, then? | |
| Sep 27, 2016 at 7:54 | comment | added | gnat | @StrongBad your idea (as probably any other feature request about hot questions) applies to all SE sites except for Stack Overflow (I would recommend editing your post to clarify this in order to avoid further confusion). Thing is, the way how hot questions work at SO is totally different than at all other sites in the network. This is because of special adjustment that pushes SO questions out of hot list after 7 hours. Because of this adjustment SO doesn't experience any of the problems that other sites have | |
| Sep 27, 2016 at 2:46 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Huh. I just noticed that posting altered my numbering. I'd written this starting with 0 (to further clarify that the first step is to follow the other answer), and it got rewritten. | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 22:07 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @StrongBad but on SO, there are tons of other high-rep users who do have an idea. Maybe SO is different; on the sites where I'm active, there are experienced users who are well-qualified to judge what should be hot even though they don't have gold badges. In some cases, the ones with more tag diversity are even in a better position to judge it, because they see more of the site instead of taking a deep dive into only specific tags. (Again, SO is different that way; nobody reads everything on SO. But there are people on Workplace, Worldbuilding, and Mi Yodeya who do.) | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 22:04 | comment | added | StrongBad | The idea is not that the gold tag badge holder judges "hotness", but that they know what is representative in that tag. A 15k rep SO user may have no idea what is representative on the Matlab tag. | |
