The problem today is NOT that the daily thread is getting removed from that category, its just that no one seems to be screening out inappropriate posts to that category.
That sidebar category only displays the latest 10 posts. Terri's (daily) is 12 posts ago. When I just read the headlines themselves for the top ten, they don't SOUND like most of them belong there:
Some people, IMHO, deliberately post there just to get 15 minutes of fame before a moderator moves them to a vanity area. But no one is watching the store at the moment it seems.
It is in my sidebar. It goes back to the top of "activism" every time someone posts on it. I'm not exactly sure how that works, so I pinged the mods. Maybe they can explain it to you.
