How are the posts selected?
-
In the daily email newsletter, there are always two posts at the bottom (Code Project Discussions - Have your say!). Does anyone know the criteria for the selections?

I believe that the most interesting post or a post with a lot of replies often gets picked
The unofficial awesome history of Code Project's Bob! "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

I think that the hamsters have a meeting, discuss the merits, or otherwise, of the more recent posts and vote. In the event of ties the 'One potato, Two potato' algorithm is employed.
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.”

It does not seem to be always the case. "Most interesting" is very subjective. CP must have a way to make the selection.

Yes, it is subjective to the guy who wrote the newsletter... :) He might have list of long / highest voted threads, and then he will make final selection.

You can always just put BACON in the subject line.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. or "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over." - P O'H
And not put TOFU. Remember - NO tofu.

A human being who reads the forums and also creates the newsletter thinks to themselves "self, this looks like a good thread to mention in the daily newsletter" later on that person picks those threads. I mean, that's just a guess but what did you expect some kind of ridiculous software that automatically picks a thread? That would be a classic over engineered unnecessary geeky wank-fest if I ever heard of one. ;)

We are geeks, we need to find the algorithms that run our world. Otherwise, how should we hack them?

I've just eaten both potatoes, so that ain't going to work until Chris can get to the grocer. ;P
