in reply to Why should I frontpage a node?

I'm not to that caste yet, but I'd imagine there'd be one overriding rule that would tell me, damnit, front-page that puppy!

The rule I'd go by would be, "Why in the heck has there been no responses yet?"

Use sensible fuzzy definitions of 'heck', 'no', and 'yet'. If it's not getting the attention you think it deserves, green-light it.

    Hear, hear! Excellent answer. The question should be "When shouldn't I front-page a node?", not how you put it. The goal is to increase exposure, but it's easier to give than take away and people would consider removal of their node from the front page to be a penalty (which it would be). Better to let people feel they're being promoted. :-)
