remember, this is only for un-starred stories. of course, starred stories should be sorted to the top (even above the "new and updated stories", IMHO)

I don't think there's much relation between number of shared stories and quality. I've seen both cases, where people have shared stories for many kanji and they are excellent e.g. Dingomick, Fabrice, and many others... and also I've seen some (who shall remain nameless) share stories for most kanji that I thought they just didn't get the hang of the method at all.
yeah, that's true for some people, but those that have lots of good stories will probably have at least one star if their story is good for any particular kanji, and so will already be sorted to the top. it's exactly your second example I'm trying to deal with

A better alternative to the first post is to average the rating of the user's other shared stories, and then sort the unsorted stories by that average. That way a user who consistently shares good stories will have their new stories closer to the top.
that's great! how about a combination of the two? sort by your method first, then for those from users who have no starred stories (average 0), do it this way.

for the same number of stars (or no stars) on last edited time, so newer come first.
yeah, sorry, kinda obvious! I guess you're keen on keeping it that way? still, it could be a user option, or some kind of shading or marking used to indicate the "score" (though probably neater just as an option)
anyway, thanks for everyone's feedback! I just had the idea when looking through long lists of stories and having to skip over lots of uninteresting ones that seems to be from users who post every one of their stories... I guess I should just be grateful that everyone is sharing stories, as that's what makes this site so great, but at 3:30am when you just want to finish adding today's quota of new kanji it's hard to maintain perspective!
