Recently the mods had a discussion if we should change the weekly OYS thread to "contest" mode which randomizes the comments for better distribution since people are posting on Tuesday at different times.

No.

You either post early on Tuesdays, and your post gets voted on and commented, or not, and you don’t get feedback. It's natural selection.

This OYS thread is for you. If you care make the most use of it.

I make it a habit to respond to guys more often who post early. It shows me they took the initiative to get up bright and early, are less likely to waste my time, and take it seriously.

Rule 9 has also cut down on the number of "she" posts and reduced the average thread from 500+ responses to < 300, streamlining this machine for your use.

In reality, OYS is the only thread that matters here at MRP. There are plenty of examples of men here that have accelerated their progress by taking OYS seriously and posting early and often.

Get to work.
