As someone already somewhere said, there should be the same freshness mark thingy as there is on mobafire.


(If you're a sadist here's the guide link: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ashe-best-carry-my-first-guide-97357)


As you can see here, the guide is marked not fresh. The freshness of a guide is measured by the update database (only for editors but you get a pic thanks to wulfy)



I believe that 4 or 5 patches and the guide is marked unfresh. This is simply to monitor the quality of the guides. Getting it "fresh" again only needs you to edit guide > save > publish, so it doesn't make anything harder for the guide authors but only shows who REALLY are dedicated authors and who are not.

Also no credit for the guy who came up with this idea because I am janitsbae�

Well it still needs to be mentioned in a guide because when you go to the top ranked guides you will see this:



and nothing here:

Just to note, there IS a symbol for the freshness thingy.

Howeve, they appeared only on the guide searchers, but not in the hero database page. The pic you linked is from the hero page.

Guide searcher: http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/guides?sort_type=modify_ts&sort_order=desc&hero_id=51&type=guide&freshness=Stale&author=&min_quality=&min_vote_count=0
Databse page: http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/hero/broodmother-51

See those skull/arrow cycle symbols? Those are the symbols of the freshness, which should have did their job? Oddly this doesnt appear at the hero page. Been bugged by this (i wulda link pics instead but im not in my laptop rite now)

But yea gotta aggree: in the guide itself there should be a freshness mark
