Well it had it's own "uncomplete" section where it had 2-3 guides, thus not getting too much exposure.

To be completly honest with my opinion and I do not target anyone by this, it's just my opinion, featured guides more likely have earned their guides there, but to be honest, the more people you know well who can give you +scout will more likely to do it to friends of theirs, rather than a "stranger" which guides is obviously better.

Often the reason may be; It doesn't have BBcoding or it's not pleasant to eyes, but I can see plenty of guides there who have much worse usage of BBcoding.

As said, I'm sorry for saying that, but that's my opinion and I know it happens. I have experienced this in other forums.

Don't be sorry for having an opinion, never be sorry for having an opinion.

That's what the current problem is. which is why you should simply trash the current featured guides and start from square -1 without the featured guide submenu as an option.

Quoted:

Mobafire needs some sort of task force, call them "featured guide task force" that quickly found 1 good guide of each champ, marked them "featured" and then we would have a proper segment of featured guides, available at the top of all searches.

This is what the vets used to do, which received a ton of awful cynicism from the community. The point of the Scout system is to divide the responsibility so that it takes several people to agree in order to feature a guide.

I didn't mind the old system of vet recs, but I believe it was considered "too undemocratic".
Thanks to Jovy for the sig!

I think the problem with the vet recs was more the fact that most of the vets had no idea what they were doing rather than it being undemocratic.

It's a fairly serious issue if the scout system doesn't allow guides to be "un-featured".

Or, well, that's the impression that I get from the talk about guides that just keep refreshing themselves.
hi embracing. yes i play ff14 now.

It doesn't, unless the scouts who gave the points go back and remove the points themselves.

Which is pretty silly.
