So let's take a quick look at the Pop Reel.

What is a pop reel?
It's a part of the site that showcases all of the recent posts that are getting a lot of attention.
What site?
The site your reading this on, silly.
How do I get on such a thing?
You have to hit a certain amount of diamonds or something in a certain amount of time. I'm not too sure how to get on it, so if you guys could comment how to, that'd be great.

Now, here's my problem with the pop reel.
How can you tell if you get on it? Seems like a simple question doesn't it? You look at the pop reel and find it. But that's really time-consuming and not a very good system. To find out you're on the pop reel, you'd have to search through all of the new pop reels everyday, which is kind of lame. It'd be easier if a message was sent to the poster saying they were on it, or there was a little symbol on the post, showing it was on the pop reel. I think sending a message and giving an icon would be better, since it feels more meaningful then just being on a part of a page somewhere for a few hours.

What do you guys think?

Honestly, does it really matter? I think you only have to get 3 or more diamonds to get on pop reel, which is pretty easy. I think that they should change the system to at least 7 diamonds for pop reel, but again, that's just my opinion.

Why does it matter?
A Post being on the pop-reel doesn't make it any better or more interessting.. so what's the point of including a feature like this?

I think one of the developers said they wont be implementing a feature like this because the user could easily scroll through the pop reel in the section of the thing they posted (takes about 10 seconds)

but some people don't go on planetminecraft everyday, so if they check a week later or so, they'll have to dig through tons of posts to find theirs, if its even there.

most posts usually stay on the pop reel for 1-2 days. And there is usually only about 10 or so posts on the pop reel at a time, so you wont be digging through much. This request your asking for shouldnt be implemented at all, it takes 10 seconds to search the pop reel to see if your on it. Asking the developers on the site to create a feature like the one your requesting would take a lot more time then the 10 seconds it takes for you to look through it.
