Best Comments Section

Should be relatively easy to track down all of blastoise's posts.

It would be pretty difficult to have to sift through years worth of comments.

Maybe a Best Blog Posts section would be easier to create?

Yea, the best comments thing is hard to do... maybe the most SBed comments would be doable. Honestly, don't see how it would add much to the site. Probably only for the people with 2,000+ banana points that get bored on occasion. ;)

I do like that, though, ITF.

I think a reasonable solution would be to do something similar to what Quora does, in that you could have the Mods be granted the ability to mark the "Extraordinary Answer" threads, and then have a sub-forum where users can sift through the purified top WSO content. To some extent it would be similar to the FAQs, but would work in an alternative capacity as the "Extraordinary" threads section would not necessarily be focused, and could even contain unhelpful threads that are instead hilarious.

Just a thought.

There are plenty of forums that have a 'bestof' kinda thing. Maybe have it be user submitted then approved by mods?

The thing is, we have a way to rate the best threads, why not focus on this more? I'd rather more people use the 5-banana ranking system then focus on single posts. If we did start doing that, we'd be getting a whole lot of one-liners as "best posts" because somebody managed to sum up one side of a political argument in one douchy statement. At least if an entire thread is marked as a "best thread", you know you've got some quality reading material.
