What's up regarding the Greatest Threads? I've noticed something odd...

Seems weird---

All the threads on the GT list are NSA, Spying, etc. etc.

There have been SEVERAL threads calling for ATTENTION to anti-woman laws being passed now, laws that are going to actively kill women. There have been a number of threads that got upwards of 50 Rec's (including mine), yet I'm not seeing them show on the list today, yesterday, the day before.....

That functionally censors a lot of information, since many people follow the Greatest Threads.

Am I missing something? What is going on?

I think the GT list is limited to threads started less than 24 hours ago. MineralMan Jul 2013 #1

That's right. Lasher Jul 2013 #3

thing is, I was noticing this yesterday, and the day before.... BlancheSplanchnik Jul 2013 #4

Well, see if you can find a thread started less MineralMan Jul 2013 #6

That could be the reason. But I don't know.

Greatest Threads shows from all forums and groups with five or more recommendations (last 24 hours)

I pasted this here from the Greatest page.

I wrote my OP day before yesterday, that's why I was noticing.... It has 53 rec's at this point, yet I never saw it on the GT list AT ALL.

Seems weird to me. Same for a few others on the same subject, that had even more rec's

than 24 hours ago that has more than 5 recs and that is not in the Greatest Threads list. I noticed a few threads with titles of interest to women in that list just now.

It could just be a matter of timing. You may be looking for a thread that has slipped past the 24 hour age, and that is from the time the thread was started. It's worth checking the actual time stamp. If you can find threads that aren't in there that aren't over that age, then it should be brought up in the Ask the Administrators forum, I think.
