This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

MODERATORS
I’m a graduate student who does a lot of grading. Canvas gives me an option to: 1. Hide students’ names while grading and 2. sort in order of submission instead of alphabetical order, so I make sure to use both of those options to reduce any biases like that.
Why in order of submission? Why not random?
I only get two options: Alphabetical order and submission order. If I had random I would use it.
Do you think order of submission has any bias towards it?
Yes, you assume the early submitters are on top of it and do better work.
And, even as one who rarely submitted assignments early, IMO it's fair to give the early submissions the advantage of marking fatigue bias. Kinda like a time bonus.
