Yes, the HNQ formula is still problematic, but at least with site quotas we're not preventing some sites from ever having a shot at it. Limiting the short list is the same principle as limiting the full list to 5/site. This isn't the place to address the formula in general; this question and my answer are about one specific adjustment to how we present HNQs. | |

Number of upvotes, number of badges, number of views, number of answers a question generates. I have seen really great questions on EL&U miss out on HNQ because they lacked upvotes and answers that were upvoted by only a few core members. | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 14:36 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | I left a comment b/c it appears you agree with the OP …don't show duplicates from the same site…. IMO, it's better to have two good questions from a single site than 10 mediocre questions from 10 different sites. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 14:21 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Mari-LouA it comes across as a little greedy; if there are only 20 or so slots and 175 sites, and one of the purposes of HNQ is to introduce people to content they wouldn't have otherwise seen, then having more variety on the short list is beneficial. Your question might be better directed to the OP. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 6:16 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | What's wrong with seeing two good/great questions from the same site on the HNQ? Why is this "bad"? | |
| May 14, 2019 at 13:42 | comment | added | gnat | per my observations SE folks seem to be currently experimenting with even smaller per-site limit of three questions (and it feels good so far) - meaning that we may eventually end up with parameters guaranteeing over 30 different sites present in hot list at any time. This would make job of dropping repeated sites from sidebar even simpler | |
