WS threads are sent to the sidebar, ASAP.
I agree that many of the Terri threads could have been consolidated. No one was dissing Terri. But, a dozen updates in an hour is too much. Same with baseball.
No arguement here.

For what it is worth: the device of updating the score of the ball game on the sidebar served to lower the number of times I loaded the story and reduced bandwidth demand. I found that to be very helpful.
In #70, Lead Mod, your comment got my mind chugging a bit: Perhaps in this type of situation, the Moderators ought to initiate a story on the sidebar in B.N. titled: "LIVE THREAD - Terri and updates" or some such. That story would be kept in the top five stories of the sidebar (I don't know what you would need to do to accomplish that). Such a title may well have reduced the Sidebar Mods' work load and lowered the "excessive" Terri threads.
