Again, big thanks to you, baker, for respecting anon feedback. I do disagree with the sentiment here, however:
>we frequently note CALLS FOR DIGS that are unsauced or incomplete.
This is true, but I don't think it's a good practice. Many have noticed in recent days there's a new roll-out of shill tactics to discredit us, more subtle. Yes, notables are not endorsements, but they are still meant to be distinct from in-bread spitballing in having gone through the initial screening of bakers and anons and found to meet a standard above "might be worth something, let's see if someone finds something."
It is natural to want the dopamine hit of "making notables." The FB creators admitted that the "like" function created chemical addiction to endogenous edorphines/opioids which are a powerful drug designed to reward mammals for actual achievement. If we cater to anons seeking a dopamine hit for the low-hanging fruit of "hey, this might could be something" we are not going in the direction Q wanted us to go: to be citizen journalists. True journalism is about upholding the standard of reason and evidence. I believe our goal in notables should be to emulate that standard.
If on the other hand we reward improper submissions to notables, we encourage the wrong kind of use of our site, and more important discourage the right kind. Q came here for the autists, let's all anons try to learn from how they do things, not change it to suit our feels.
