> Articles like Tom's which include specific requests are probably the best format for such things. We don't want any information overload, right?
But most people's articles will never make the homepage. By having one posts (like the jobs threads), you keep all the information in one place and it gets better visibility. It's the opposite of overload; it's consolidation.
Also, those posts request a specific format (eg, starting with "LOOKING FOR WORK / Location") which helps others easily scan through the list and find what's relevant to them. The same can be done with HMO lists.
Maybe you're right. My concern is that it'll just become completely un-navigable, whereas if it's something that people need to post proper posts about they're going to be more serious about it. But I see your point. Why don't we give it a go and see what happens?
