Trending Topics: Not exactly trending
Much like myself, many of you may have noticed that Trending Topics aren't exactly trending. I'm not sure if the hashtag system is the decider of what "trends" and what doesn't, but I suggest something a little different.
Let the trending tab be for forum topics that have a certain amount of replies and activity. Picture it as the tab for "Hot Topics" where a user could go to find the talk of the town. The current threads in the trending tab are dormant for the most part, some of which haven't been touched or moved from the list in days. They sit stagnant, some how kept in place by a random reply every now and again. I don't think this classifies as "trending".
To me, it seems more likely that it should be a place for the busy, bustling thread Bnet is capable of, and often does produce. Because I'm not sure of the tabs true function, I could be completely wrong here, maybe there is something I missed.
Thoughts?

1 ReplyI have been wondering the same thing, but it could be that Bungie has simply designed it to handle way more activity than it has right now, though you'd think they could just tailor it to the active population...

I have no idea how the trending topic system works, but I think there may be a use for it later. I agree that it should be about topics with a ton of replies and likes though because that would make sense. I also believe we should have the option to have the "latest" tab as our default.

1 ReplyI feel like if it were based on your suggestion the entire trending tab would be nothing but shit troll threads.

1 ReplyTrending is currently broken and isn't working as intended, the web team thought it would sort itself out in like a week after the last update, apparently they were too optimistic and they are presumably aware of this and are presumably going to fix it the next time a site update rolls around. ...Hopefully. It's a pretty important part of how the new site works, and I know I've had ideas for threads but I didn't want to invest time into writing them because without Trending, there's nothing stopping them from getting swept off the front page by spam.
