We're experimenting with sorting the stream by creation date, rather than "last updated" date. For example, a poem created on August 14 will be displayed before a poem created on August 13, even if the August 13 poem was revised on August 16.
Referendum #7 (text below) passed, with 11 votes in favor, 1 abstention, and no votes against.
Referendum text:
Neopoet Referendum No. 7
Do you agree with the following proposal?
We will create a unique workshop called "The Lab" in accordance with the community discussion (https://www.neopoet.com/forum/25082). Submissions to "The Lab" would have special visibility in The Stream and elsewhere. Submissions would be restricted, both by how often a member can post, and on the basis of credits, which are earned by posting quality comments. More detail is available in the community discussion page (linked to previously).
This initative, if ratified, may take several months to implement.
