+285 Maybe homepaging a post only needs one vote.. then it goes through Mods to decide which are homepage worthy, amirite?

and then if the post is better than theirs, they dont let it be on the homepage.

I always thought it was like 3 or more and then it went to a queue where mods looked at it.

I actually guesstimated the number as about 5-7 because I've seen posts on the homepage with only 9 or 10 votes total.

Yeah you're right after I wrote that I realized that it must be more then just 3.

I saw one homepaged yesterday with only 4 votes TOTAL (YYA and NW) so it has to be less than 5..

not necessarily. some people (not a lot though) might vote one to be homepaged but not click YYA or NW... just a possibility though.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

that's not possible........?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i think it could be. you don' t have to vote in order to home page it do you??

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yeah.. you only get the option to homepage when you vote

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes it is. At least on mobile.

Well I think mods and the admin(s?) have the power to get a post homepage'd with just one click, so that might explain those. Not immediately, but apparently it goes on a queue (or so I was told in the chat a while ago).

I think this might be it because I remember searching posts and I voted to homepage one that was like 3 months old, then when I check amirite again I saw it there.

Sometimes mods put it on the homepage, and it doesn't need many homepage votes.

I hate it when I have posts that are like +25 and they don't make it onto the homepage. Ugh...
