If one of my claims is neither voted nor commented on for over an hour, I scrap it.

By 4 Tad Duncan on April 10, 2007

If no one looked at it over that time, it must not be a 'good' claim.

I've done it with a few, though I don't do it all the time.

Have you ever had that happen to you? I don't recall that ever happening to me. Admittedly, there was a point in time, before the scrap claim feature was instituted, when I was more fire and forget about my claiming.

I just posted three claims two hours ago....

No one touched them so I got rid of them. I've done it before, but never multiple claims at once.

If you scrap you claims when no one votes then you are trying to hack the overall claim interestingness score feature you subconsciously fear is coming in the future.

You could be throwing out some really great stuff. An hour is not enough time to evaluate. It is really fun when someone votes or comments on a claim that was ignored in the distant (ha!)past.

Is it possible to do a search for older claims with only one vote?

I don't know.... I don't 'discard' the claims, I just save them for later to repost.
