| Limit on discovering new pages | | |
Sponsor |  AirToob | Apr 4, 2:41am | Due to ignorance about SU limits, I have apparently discovered too many photograph pages at Foxsaver, DPChallenge and RedBubble (in the latter case, fewer than 10), so attempts just to give a thumbs-up to an undiscovered photo at these sites always fail at the "submit" stage. The attempts fail in a very curious way - see:
bugs.stumbleupon.com/show_bug.php [bugs.stumbleupon.com/show_bug.php]
The reason that I don't just post a new blog entry and include the photograph, without thumbing up the photo, is that such a blog entry can't have tags - and I'm one of those funny people who thinks that tags are useful to me and to others.
Can anyone tell me what the real limits on discoveries (not posts) at a site are, and whether I have encountered an SU bug or a real (not very well documented or executed) SU limit?
Also, can anyone tell me why a normal post can't have tags? What is SU's rationale for disallowing this, I mean?
Many thanks (in hope!)

Staff | | CH | Apr 4, 2:45am | We deliberately don't publish (details of) those limits, since they are in place to deter gaming of the system (by unscrupulous types) - and also to ensure that our members get a variety of good, high quality stumbles.
The vast majority of our members do not encounter these limits at all.
If you've hit them, you've hit them.
As for "normal" posts not having tags - it's just the way we've grown up. We didn't start out as a blogging tool, thus you'll occasionally notice that there are "blogging tools" that other products have, but which we lack. We make up for it other areas. |

Sponsor | | AirToob | Apr 4, 3:31am | Thanks for the information. I understand the rationale, I think, and I do appreciate the good features of SU.
As someone who is certainly not a spammer, who is much more scrupulous than the average stumbler about acknowledging sources of blogged material, who tries his best only to post top quality stuff, and who tries (and puts a lot of work in) to provide help and useful information to other stumblers, I feel more than a bit unfortunate to have been permanently caught in this trap.
On the tags front: are you saying that the way you have grown up means that nothing can ever change in this respect? Simple question: why not allow tags now on normal posts? Technical issue? Philosophical issue? Other? |
