It was easier to find everyone then, plus, lets be honest, highly-rated is very subjective and easy to manipulate.
I'm just trying to find ways to start readers off there, and I'm all ears if anybody has different ideas for that Stories homepage. Having every author was a bit hard on the eyes and pushed trending stories down, so I limited them to a couple of dozen top-rated on the homepage. The authors actually now have their own full-listing page where you can sort them alphabetically, or by rating or last active.
Once people start rating stories, the author "ratings" will make more sense--they are calculated daily using the same functions that decide user of the day and trending this and that. So as always, it's community consensus, and any manipulators would be kicked off the site.
Love you, too
