We'd have a lot of pissed-off users wanting their story that's been possibly unrecognized, and buried in the site for a while saying "Hey! What about mine??" No we wouldn't. I suggested that we give those 'pissed-off' users the place to showcase their work. I really cannot understand how you came up with that. Maybe I didn't word it clearly enough.

I have to say that your second paragraph left me speechless. Do you really think that if something is good, it is guaranteed to get recognision? Maybe, in a perfect world.

Also, are you really suggesting that users should go rogue about promoting their stuff? Because that's what you are basically saying.

One other thing, there is a huge difference between 'holding someone's hand' and giving someone something to work with. Do you think that going through three separate pages just to get to the newest submissions makes sense? Maybe for you, with all your experience on the wiki, it does. But for most users, especially new ones, I am sure it makes no sense whatsoever. You have become so detached from the regular user that you can't even see this.
