Last week I happened to look at TMG a few times, and noticed that nothing new had been posted. So I looked at SoPW to see what could go up, and guess what, I couldn't find anything worthy. Just standard run-of-the-mill questions.

I ended up finding a couple of good threads, which, as an added bonus I had not participated in. Even more questionable than FPing your own nodes is to get in the first post to a question and then FP the node. Answers to questions tend to receive more votes than the question itself, especially if the question was posted anonymously.

I have been toying with the idea that next time I frontpage a node I'll announce the fact in the CB. If that was a habit that caught on, we wouldn't need a mechanical solution. Part of what makes the site work so well is the amount of tacit agreement there is between participants as to what is The Right Thing to do.
