How do FAQ'd posts look on the other side?


Website Feedback


I'm curious how posts on which people have hit the "FAQ" button look on the other side of the screen. Not necessarily anything like "We put a shiny unicorn next to any threads which have a FAQ in them", but in terms of the numbers.

Are FAQ-clicks counted per thread or per post? Does whether or not the clicks are on the first post in the thread matter? Is there a list of the top-FAQed threads/posts? Or just an indication on the thread list of a FAQ? Or is there nothing beyond what we users see, and it's just a question of whether a system developer happens to look into the thread?

I'm not looking for this to game the system or anything - just to understand it. My assumptions (based on how I'd do it if I were to build it) are that there's a list of top FAQed posts, and each post that gets clicked (possibly above a threshold) shows up on it. If two posts in the same thread are both FAQed, they'll both be on the list separately. But that's all just guessing.


While not a screenshot or anything: the FAQ'd posts, no matter how many flags they have, show up in a list for review. As with anything the Paizo staff is presented with, the more voices showing that there is a problem or that something is ambiguous, the more likely it is to be looked at.
