Man, ya'll are harsh! I was thinking a couple of days, but a whole week...? Wow. Have you no heart forwardslash? I think a couple of days is long enough for someone to recognize that Hubski is it's own thing. Maybe 3 days. It should definitely be something you have to toggle and should not be defaulted to "on".

Dude. What's the post title?

You probably wouldn't use it at all. I might decide I don't feel like listening to anyone under a year old. Give me a slider and it becomes yet another dimension for finding content. Start arguing about what the duration oughtta be and it becomes a milestone, a bone of contention, a probationary period, a sticking point.

If it'd make you feel better, give me two sliders: allow me to ignore users NEWER than (x) and OLDER than (y). Behold. Suddenly I'm finding yet another way to navigate Hubski.

Some cool ideas, for sure. I'm not opposed to someone being able to customize their experience to that degree at all. The slider is a really interesting suggestion. I'm not a programmer so I don't know the logistics of it, but yeah, I'm digging the ideas. Thanks.

Well why not have it a fill-in-the-blank type of feature. I'm not totally sold on the idea, but if it's gonna be done, why make it arbitrary?

Yeah, 3 might be more reasonable. I think even the circlejerkers left before 3 days.

I still get PMs from them. There are at least two that are still here.
