What if there was a pre-bakery stage to the HB?
Often people's ideas get pounded not because they're a bad idea, but because they've not been thought through... or had some others eyes look over it before posting. Ideas _should_ evolve. They're rarely fully viable straight off the keyboard.
Although
possible, it's impractical to modify the original description once it's been put "out-there" - Impractical because everyone would have to re-read every description every time they re-visit an idea.
I'm suggesting some holding zone, for those who wish to use it, where Master-bakers can pre-judge, and knead new submissions to help new-comers and regular visitors alike.
proposed for younger bakers.

Modify the description, it's okay. Really. That's why you can. |
|
| |
"Everyone" wouldn't have to reread the idea, because "everyone" didn't read it to begin with. So a few votes are out of sync? Big deal. |
|
| |
Remember, the initial readership of regulars is only a small part of the audience (and they'll reread it if you change it - hey, they have time enough to hang out *here*); the rest are people who know something about the one thing you're posting about, and are looking for something related, or have that one idea themselves. |
|
| |
Although "masterbaker" would certainly be an apt term, from the sound of it. |
|
| |
I'd like to see a (off site?) ranking in two dimensions: |
|
| |
(X) Usefulness (Y) Bakeability |
|
| |
...but then, this {{{is}}} the halfbakery... |
|
| |
Actually, [Dub], friend, buddy, ideas that get more then twenty quoissants here are moved to the fullbakery, that is Fullbakery.com, to be discussed by an expert panel and judged. |
|
| |
[zeno]Oh, erm... it seems to be off-line at the moment... I'll try again in 10, shall I? |
|
| |
[zen_tom] I grinned too... I count 6 levels of allegory |

cut straight to Halbakery IV. |
|
| |
Is that the one where they beam-up the whales? |
|
| |
No, it's the one with all the jawas, and Greedo. Anyway, even if it is the one with the whales, can you imagine a Halfbakery forced into the mid 80's? It would look terrible. Invisible spaceship? Invisible budget more like. |
|
| |
[benfrost]Ow, yeah. Now I remember... That's the one where Halfbakery wins. |
|
| |
Personally, I am much more in favour of being called (if I may be so presumptuous) a masterbaker than a wit who (often) resides on the Halfbakery, or Half-wit. |
|
| |
Hold on a minute, did [jutta] just manage to get away with calling us all wankers? |
|
| |
(Of course, when I say 'us' I actually mean, 'you', plural...) |

[Susan]too? You mean there have been others? |

Do not pretend not to know you frequently delete anno's. |
|

Yes, but I usually ask, though. |
