NO!!.......Too much like other sites
that's hardly a reason not to consider it
the voting system is so tricky because we have to cater for all sorts of voters, from lazy/busy people who can only check out a few images (from the thumbnails) to those that look at every image at full size. how can you force people to view all the images?
The rating system would only work if you rate every single post......which doesn't work for open contests. With posts being accepted up until the closing of the contest, someone could post some crap at the end, get one 10 rating from some goofballs for a crappy post, and win because of their average being higher than a post with several 9s, 10s and 8s..........it only works at the other site because all entries are posted before the contests open.
Then you also have the same problem that that other site had as well, which is people rating low on all posts except their own.....causing those other sites to have to throw in factors causing some peoples ratings to hold more value.
...and back to the topic of using all your votes.....this poll shows that quite a few people don't have that problem
