User soapbox - does it actually mean anything anymore?



I've noticed recently that there is a new User Soapbox entry every 2 hours or so now. While people like Dannyodwyer or Carolynmichelle spend hours writing great content, others get onto the soapbox writing a paragraph on a demo they've just played or the merits of burgers vs pizzas.

This means that good content gets almost immediately bumped off of the 3 on the front page within a matter of an hour or so. It's pretty much a fact that everybody stops reading and commenting after a soapbox article gets bumped off the top 3. I no longer see the point of spending a long time researching and writing anything decent nor bothering to mark anything as an editorial if you decide to do so anyway.

I'll offer to edit [choose] the editorials, if anybody in charge is reading this. :lol: Or at least the front page ones. Or they should change the front page to the three newest ones AND three FEATURED editorials that are say the best of the week.
