spotlight suggestions i wish to become true

19.5k FennVectorCWA  8.4 years ago

Hello developers,moderators, authors the new feature is Amazing , recommendation of other people planes is great , the profile update is nice and the jet stream is good , the problem is spotlight fills the notification space , and problematic for people who follow many people (like me) it fills the notification section and in fast way...i read all of my notifications and got 16 spotlight instantly and spotlights mess up notifications , i went to check upvotes and comments but i find out tons of scattered spotlights (one upvote notification and 2 spotlights , one comment and 2 spotlights making the notifications bit messy.....my suggestions are

Spotlight cooldown : after every 2 spotlights the player must wait 5 minutes (slows down the spotlight tsunami)
Spotlight sub-section : like new airplanes sub section add a one that contains spotlights only (the other notifications got an independent place)
Spotlight hour limit (no need but optional)

You are always helpful and creative thank you and keep it up -D

    I wondered whether it would be a good idea to replace the now empty space in the New Airplanes section with the spotlight planes. I'll pass this onto the mod chat, although, considering this isn't the first mention of the problem, I'm guessing they know by now.
    .
    Also, given a bit of time, people might get less trigger happy as the novelty wears off, but we'll see.

    Yes, it is a good thing to give an opportunity to show what unnoticed users can really do, but I think 10 a day would be good, there's always tommorow to do it.

    @DisferGoatzFAILURE yea that will slow it but the spot light thing is nice ....a guy (u recently spotlighted) got 11 ups on his 2nd plane in 8 minutes ....it is like giving away your followers to the user of the spotlighted plane ...i usually get 11 ups in 2 or even 3 days

    Or maybe a limit on how many spotlights you can do a day a lot like how many planes you can upload a day.
