Want high-merit posts? Search for them. There are the merit pages for that.
Want specific results? Search for them. There is the search bar for that.
I don't exactly want the forum to start storing thousands of "good project" and "proof of authentication" crap right now.
Topic: Can we have a pop up icon recommending posts? (Read 179 times)
I do not think such an option would require information from users (not any private information at least). Only post activity and data is needed to aggregate and select quality posts. It could also be toggled on and off, depending on a users specification.

If you want reccomendatioms go to a social network. This is a forum; and besides, in order to be able to reccomend anything, the forum would have to keep information of users; which is not so anonimously nice

I have come across cases of users choosing not to post in certain boards to avoid their posts getting buried under sea of new posts, and also users having to bump their posts repeatedly to keep it active.
Each section has had thousands of posts made and only a few are at the disposal of users, as it is painstaking to navigate through all the pages of posts made on a specific section. Can we have a pop up icon recommending quality posts for users as they scroll through the forum, the recommendations could be based on number of merits giving to the OP, and also subsequent comments under it.
It could also work for newer posts; if a post gets a certain number of merits (doesn't have to be too high) within a certain number of hours upon posting then it would be recommended to users on the forum.
This way, members can come across old, relevant posts, which otherwise they may not have been able to dig up, and also newer posts which may have slipped down below the first page.
The algorithm could be designed to randomly pick across all the boards, excluding boards ignored by the user and local boards (which are not the users locality).
