What is the protocol on assigning threads to the Classics board?

Do they have to reach a certain threshold?

There's a couple of threads in there that I personally don't think should have gone in, but then again I'm not part of the decision-making process at MN HQ.

Do threads have to get nominated or is it something decided by whomever's on duty that day?

Hi AdrenalineFudge - if we've had a few nominations, we'll take a look and see what we think. It's generally if everyone has been enjoying the thread and it fits with older Classic threads.

Which particular threads do you feel perhaps weren't right for Classics?

@AdrenalineFudge

Binary I suppose it is largely subjective. There's a thread in there about a spray painted pigeon - that had me really laughing but I know that some didn't and don't consider it funny. I don't have a formula worked out but it shouldn't be a case of most looked at or most popular. It seems like someone can start a thread about any bizarre thing and if they reach over 500 replies then it's off in Classics. Even light-hearted threads by their very nature can make it into Classics like the one of the two dcs playing whilst their mother was in the bath. I don't believe that thread for one second but there you go.

Yes, it's tricky because it is so subjective.

This feedback is all really useful - thanks everyone for posting.
