- 2I discussed this in the M.SE chat room with you and other users. I got downvotes. That's fair enough - you among others don't agree with this proposal, so you've voted against it and given your reasons. In other words, the chat room conversation did all the things I would hope this kind of feed would do: encourage engagement on main, etc. It didn't magically create a voting ring because you and others in the chat room have integrity - you vote the way you feel you should vote, you don't just vote up anyone who pops into chat to announce their post- doesn't that all kind of prove my points?Jack Douglas– Jack Douglas2015-01-01 18:11:41 +00:00Commented Jan 1, 2015 at 18:11
- 4@Jack No, it proves mine - that you should share your own posts by yourselves and only to pick the better ones to share. The MSE Tavern encourages conversations like these, and the outcome reflected that users were interested in the specific post of yours. By the way, it did create a voting ring - after I link this answer of mine in the MSE Tavern and in a few rooms I'm in on chat.SO, it got me a Handegg badge in under 15 minutes.Unihedron– Unihedron2015-01-01 18:15:56 +00:00Commented Jan 1, 2015 at 18:15
- 1A lot of this post seems irrelevant because it ignores that facts that ① no-one would be forcing these feeds on any chat room, and ② ticker overlay feeds don't have the effects you mention on the transcript and flow of conversation. I've accepted your answer because of your concerns about abuse and voting rings - I'm not sure I agree, but I think you've likely got more experience than me and are in a better place to judge.Jack Douglas– Jack Douglas2015-01-02 06:25:40 +00:00Commented Jan 2, 2015 at 6:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
