How do we figure out the spotlight poem? We look at the highest rated poem that was posted in the last five days. Specifically, we measure the percentage of members that nominate the poem. Only unique views count (in other words, viewing the poem more than once won't change anything).

A few other details. If there is a tie, the older poem wins (since the younger poem will have more of a chance to get spotlight later). We also apply a cutoff based on the number of views. For example, just one views doesn't tell us much (and "100% nominated" is a hard figure to beat). But if many members nominate a poem, it means a great deal. We're always changing this cutoff based on the number of members we have and other factors. We let you try out different cutoffs here to see how that might change things. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to contact us!
