Now the site has two types of topics in blogs: for all and for subscribers only ...
It may be worthwhile to introduce a third one: those who must first gain a couple of votes among the subscribers, and only then appear in the new ones? ..
The usefulness of the idea is not obvious, since rarely anyone post at all closed topics (at least in those blogs that I read). But this new type of topics may change the situation - it is easier for a person to go for it, because such a post has all the chances to get on the main page. At the same time, initially the topic is closed and available only to subscribers, which fits into the rule about the number of open posts and care for people ... ')
Yes, naturally, this cannot be a replacement for closed topics.
U: Oh, well, as always: clicked on the arrow down - leave a comment (if, of course, there is something to say) ... I wonder what the hell :)
