in thread Considering Front Paging a Node?

The reason I suggested that having items drop off the front page quicker was a bad idea (in my view) is that it goes against the principle of placing posts from new users there so they can find it more easily.
Ah, but tye was talking about a different thing there. He said questions should be approved quickly for their section so that new users can find them in the section they posted to.
