Time for COTD to make a comeback?

[Old Busted Hotness]

If nothing else, it'll give those uppity Curators something to do.

Yes, I know it was on Jelopnic, not Oppo, but what the hell.

[derp]

we're not uppity, we're just extra-cultured.

[derp]

you know, like really ripe cheese.

[Shop-Teacher]

@derpwagon Oh, that's what that smell is...

[2Poor_sh2Furious]

@derpwagon or yogurt!

@old-busted-hotness Hey I see we have, "Most Reputation" which seems kind of uppity!

[A Former User]

@derpwagon I LOVE smelly yummy cheeses

Those shitheads would probably screw that up too.

Almost certainly!
It’s an interesting thought, but not sure how we’d logistically do it.

@jminer yeah I was wondering how that would work, if the server could even handle them days we could end up with hundreds of comments on a theme day. I would imagine that would be a lot for the mods. unless there's a functionality to see the most upvoted comments like on Kinja.

[jminer]

@s65 that might exist, but what's the fun in that? It's as much a judgement call as a popularity contest. I'll admit I don't have time for it, maybe at some point but I can't see us being able to pull that off right now.

[S65]

@jminer oh that makes a lot more sense

[derp]

@shop-teacher yeah my bad

I am not saying we do it right now necessarily, but here is an idea. First, can we search for the text #COTD in all posts, ideally restricted to the day time period, but not necessarily? Because here is how I could see it with manageable work for us: 1) people nominate by typing #COTD in their comments like they do anyway, 2) one of us routinely compiles all comments with that text by doing a search at the end of the day, 3) the comments get put into a poll for people to vote upon, 4) the winner gets to take Nibbles home for the evening.

[derp]

Is there a way to just see which comments got the most upvotes in a day?

[jminer]

@chariotoflove I like this approach, but feel like maybe a comment of the week might make more sense? If I'm wrong though and someone has time to do this daily no objections though.

Either way. Definitely not top priority on the to do list. But worth thinking about. A week’s worth would be a long list.

@COTD is a thing now.

@old-busted-hotness Ash isn't here, so I might have a chance!
