I'm sure by now we all are familiar with "called shots" on ActiveRain. According to Brad Andersohn' post: A called shot is "the number of times you've suggested a post that went on to be featured".
With the called shots counter you have the ability to track how many shots you've called that were featured but I think it would be pretty cool to add a missed shot counterso each ActiveRain member can track the number of their own posts that were suggested to be featured but missed the feature list.
I totally understand that not every post is feature material and that not every post can be a feature but I think it would be a compliment to know that another member thought enough of your post to suggest it to be featured. Again, even if it wasn't picked, the fact that another member thought it to be feature material is nice to know.
I think it would be nice to know and track if a shot was called on your post, even if it turned out to be a dud.
According to the Free Dictionary, the definition of a Dud is: A bomb, shell, or explosive round that fails to detonate.
According to Gina Chirico: A dud is the number of times one of your posts was suggested to be featured and wasn't.
What's your opinion?
