each to there own is the way it has always been, you want to dole out 5, fine, maybe only 1, fair enough, but we all have 25, if you want to throw all of them out there, do that too. Ahhh the democratic right to freedom and choice

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and yeah and if you want to crawl out of the woodwork and vote for just your friends do that, too!

Here's a kleenex, Marco.

maybe its just me, but i feel like there are too many votes to use already.....i usually go through and vote on what i consider the strongest 3 - 5 entries and thats about it. i dont see the reason for using so many votes.

I agree. That's how it should be.

hmm I don't agree with that just using 3-5 votes. I mean then why would anybody be interested in even trying to post here if they knew up front they'd never ever get even one vote?

That maybe good for some of you to just use 3 votes but seriously it would KILL this site.

Yes I agree, but if people only had 3 votes they would not throw them away so quickly. They would view all the entries first.

possibly but they don't do that now so why would they with only three votes.. let's see .. you'd get a vote, marco would get a vote and anfa would get a vote and the rest of us would just quit entering.... or so it would seem.... I dunno it's a good question. I maybe looking at it wrong but to me it just would curb the fun of doing the chop in the first place. oh well

You're kidding, right?

The only reason these so-called contests work half the time is because of the voting power differences of non and advantage members, and the occasional true-to-heart voter who pops in and votes on 1 to 5 entries. If everyone had only 3 votes in a contest of nearly 80 entires, my money would be on the entrant with the most friends, otherwise 50 people could be tied for first.

again, just my opinion and it doesnt mean much because i am new around here..the fact that you say the person with the most friends could win shows that the voting system may be flawed.

I think people over estimate the "Friend Vote" thing. I don't think it happens that much.
