Subject: Re: Best of List
I want to see the most popular posts of the day and month, not posts that were viewed 2 or 3X and received one rec...

Don’t worry, such spikes are very brief. When a post has one rec and 3 views, it attract attention very quickly (as it will rank high on the Best Of list) and the views then rapidly increase, so then rec/view ratio will quickly decline.

If there is a spike in the rec percentage score, it also isn’t bad as it can attract notice towards a post on an unpopular board rather briefly.

The standard rec figure is still shown everywhere else; the rec as a percentage of views is only used for the Best Of ranking.
