[02:39] <nhandler> I was just wondering, what do you guys think about having a small button next to each story on planet.ubuntu.com to submit it to the fridge? That way, people could easily/quickly submit interesting stories they see there
[06:32] <MTecknology> nhandler: kind of a spiffy idea but i can see it being abused pretty easily
[14:09] <nhandler> MTecknology: Well, I'm not sure about that. Even some of the new stuff we added to ubuntu-news to allow people to submit stories have had very little abuse. All submissions would need to be reviewed, and with a recaptcha or something, I don't think we have bot submissions
[14:49] <MTecknology> nhandler: I didn't even think about bots; I meant users on the planet that think their story should be on the fridge too
[14:54] <nhandler> MTecknology: Well, right now, we get almost no submissions of stories, so I think we would welcome getting "too many" submissions. It wouldn't take more than a quick glance to determine whether it is appropriate to be published
[14:55] <MTecknology> what about if the button was for a vote? once 3 people clicked it, it gets submitted?
[14:56] <MTecknology> I can see that getting abused to, but that'd make it much harder
[14:56] <MTecknology> I like the idea, just tossing out extra thoughts :)
[16:23] <nhandler> MTecknology: Do you think enough users would actually vote for any story to get 3 votes? That would also require a bit more work on the planet side
[16:28] <MTecknology> i have no idea what to expect from people
