The number of links getting promoted to the front page has been rising steadily, and it is obvious that we must soon consider raising the score required to promote a link.

What is less clear is the question of how to raise the bar? Here are some possibilities:

1. Increase the number of votes required
2. Decrease the weight of clicks and comments
3. Decrease the time before a link is buried

Please let us know what you think about this issue. Is it better to raise the bar to limit the flow of links, or are you happy to have so many links flowing through dzone? We really need your insight here, so all feedback is encouraged. Thanks!

We passed the “300,000 clicks sent” milestone today. Thanks to all of you for using and enjoying dzone. It was a record week for us, and so was last week! You probably can’t imagine how much it inspires us and recharges our batteries to know that you’re using our baby site more and more each day.

Thanks for your help in building the dzone community, and keep on clicking!
