poll Should auctions be excluded from the "Favorite Today" section?

[URL Stream]

Some thoughts:

• This promotion seems better suited for news, discussions, or other engaging topics rather than private auctions.
• Auction activity is already covered in a dedicated sidebar section.
• Including auctions here gives an unfair advantage to low-starting-bid listings, which naturally draw more bidders and attention.
• It also favors users running multiple auctions in a single post.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's perspective on this.

Thanks for creating this thread.

The current idea is for these homepage areas to highlight threads based solely on the stats. There aren’t any exclusions, at the moment.

The sidebars, for comparison, do have exclusions.

Looking forward to following this poll and discussion.

I'd prefer it stays as is.

UNLESS this is impacted by "bumps". If so, auctions should go.

Bumps aren't counted because the stats ignore replies by thread creators in their own threads.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
