    For your first point, do you mean "Let sites choose whether their questions appear in the HNQ" or "Let sites choose whether the HNQ sidebar appears on their site by default"? Both seem potentially reasonable to me. Most people on SO are there to solve a programming problem and probably don't want to see questions about flirting in the sidebar. People on worldbuilding.se are probably more open to seeing an interesting title and going "ooh that looks fun let's read it." Commented Oct 18, 2018 at 17:47

    @A_S00 let the site choose whether their own questions appear in the HNQ. Commented Oct 18, 2018 at 18:42

    +1 for "Maybe only counting votes from users that have contributions on the site could help." That's a great idea. Commented Oct 18, 2018 at 20:17
  • Please let me turn it off. its a major distraction. I'm easily distracted. When I go to a programming site. I don't want to see questions about aliens, dating, physics, especially when I'm interested in the click bait title. The network is now far to diverse for my intrests to align with many others. The goals of HQQ is in direct conflict with the goals of getting information about my chosen reading field. Commented Oct 23, 2018 at 16:12
  • @Wildcard At first glance, yes, but that would make the query even more expensive with the temporal aspect dependent on other factors. In relational terms, a left outer join with a null check in addition to date filtering on an entity level. Worth it? Maybe. Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 17:00

    @Physics-Compute designing according to what’s easiest to implement instead of what produces the most desirable result is the basis for all of HNQ’s problems of today. Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 17:15
  • @Wildcard Agreed. Correctness first. I'll retract the "maybe" part. I definitely like the idea. Will just add that it may be a lot more expensive. Commented Nov 7, 2018 at 17:44
