The easiest answer to the HNQ question is to not have such a feature at all. I thinks that HNQ are an ill-conceived feature of StackExchange. They are more of a distraction than good.A more permissive way of dealing with HNQ is to let each user control if he wants to see HNQs.Yet more permissive approach is to give each user an ability to select which sites can provide content for the feed. (I'm interested in Engineering and Photography. I'm not interested in Politics.)- **edit:**
