Yeah, PotM has always been a broken system. The idea is for the community to select the best pastas each month, but in practice it's just sort of a popularity contest where quality isn't always guaranteed.

We initially created the Admin Pick (spotlighted pastas) to act as a counterpart to POTM, but I can see where you're coming from with it. I just don't know if we'd be able to find enough good stories to make it more than a monthly thing. If we do, we might start rotating it once a week.

I'll also probably create an "old spotlighted pastas" archive at some point. Right now the only two pastas that have been spotlighted are On the Bus (December 2014) and Faulty Wiring (January 2015).
