This is an excellent example on how to get a thread to the top of hot threads:

After reading 145 posts in this thread it will pretty obvious it's not a fail thread. The topic might be a complete fail but thread wise it's a success. These sorts of threads only contribute to further prove that if you want to get your threads to the top all you have to do is to come up with some absurd theory, that everybody knows to be wrong and can be easily disproved in a few lines, and then cling to it for 6 whole pages. People are bound to get angry and find themselves posting in order to argue on a dumb thread. Which on last analysis will bump it right into the top.
If you make a closed and pretty straight forward you might get the rep, but it wont reach the top because there is little to argue. This way is much better!!

I might not agree with the strategy but it works and therefor is valid, my congrats to all who apply this method.

What's so important about Hottest Threads, if everyone's just agruing and calling each other stupid...?

some threads are nice & really fun ... but at the same time some threads do go a bit overboard ..

Yeah the thread by Tebows Youth Group. It put a lot of people into denial. It was the best thread i have seen on this website so far.

It's not important at all, it's just the perversion of the system. I scan the threads by the number of posts in it. Every time a threads get's bumped it goes up and therefore besides new threads all others are threads with massive posting. At least half of these threads are like the one I used for example, where 7 out of every 10 posts are posts disproving the theory.

What ends up happening is that in a mater of a day or less highly interesting theories get buried in page 4 with only 10 or 20 posts... If there was a mod to organise threads by the amount of thanks and likes on them it would work pretty much better.

ok i don't know if i am talking stupid , can't it be done that moderator decide which thread to go to the hottest ...? based on thing like
1 => how much proof does it have
2 => if it's trying to put a flame war
3 => trying to hurt particular set of people (religiously)
and many more .!!

Precisely, and the worst part is that it could be easily avoided by a little bit of code. All that is needed in order to properly rate the threads on their content is already in place, you can rate them on a scale from 0 to 5, you can like them and you can even thank them. NB has already the best way to do this without any effort, THE COMMUNITY ITSELF is a rating program! It would make much more simple to find interesting threads.

For threads older than a weak this could go off so they would gradually be buried down...

I dont know if you could, but perhaps you could propose this to someone who can do something about it. Because that is a really good idea.

Yes, and there is nothing wrong on doing so but people do not usually thank/like for troll/fanboy threads. But they do when they see a nice and well thought theory. Replacing the Top posted for the top rated+liked+thanked would make it much more interesting and would be much harder to skim your way up into exposure. Either you make good threads and many people agree on that or you wont get much exposure.

I wonder who should I send it to, or where should I post it... I reckon there must be mods rumbling these forums somewhere and they should probably stumble on this eventually... But maybe I'm just wishful thinking.
