OK... I like the fact that we have 20+ votes to use in one contest and Id like to keep it that way. But Id like it even better if we could each choose one entry in each contest that we feel stands out omong the others we vote for. I think it would make the process a bit more interesting.

I think its at least worth a disscussion. Anyone else agree?

A vote on a scale of 1-10 would be a hell of a lot better.

I agree. But Chowdah man's idea is not all bad. I don't really think anything is going to change around here to be honest.

ok I'll give the dead horse a few flogs... all contests anonymous,1 to 10 voting scale and weighted voting depending on the psc score of the voter,as well as obligatory voting on every entry for a given contest for all members that enter that given contest is imo the fairest ,if not the best system.As for choosing one entry that stands out you can do that in the comment section,as well as fav the entry.With the voting system proposed here you wouldn't need to do this and may even complicate things if someone decides to take revenge on some other member cause they never vote for them. Someone else flog now

My whip just broke, I'm going to take a break and go piss against the wind.

I put my faith in a cup of black coffee and a piece of chocolate cake.

already exists a site with a similar voting system...but better

and imagine: there's someone that actually reads and listens to what their users have to say! Now isn't that neat

I saw the horse move,I think it's still alive

Hmmm.. yes. I dig the scale 1 - 10 vote idea. Certainly better than current.

Still not sure if better than my idea though... ones opinion of where an entry should be on the 1 - 10 scale may, and often would change as the contest gains entries. If another perfect 10 should come along, thats the same as casting a single vote for two different entries. It forces one to cancel out his or her vote.

Being able to cast a single vote to all worthy entries but still have that one extra vote to cast in the end for your decided super dooper fav would create a more exciting,
suspenseful dynamic to each contest.

This privilige could even be given to paying members only. Hey... why not?

You know... we could even make our own damn website if they are too lazy to make changes for their very loyal, paying members. Our turn to collect the billions and billions.

YEP

Ha hah... leave it to you to come up with that one, Lux. That would obviously be completely unfair to any new(er) member. They would have to be a member for 30+ years to catch up to you god damn vote hoars. You just want more brown noses up your old ass.

why would that be unfair to new members or anyone in that case since the contests would be anonymous and you dont know who you are voting for? you don't get it,the weighted voting would give more value to the vote cast BY the experienced member with a higher PSC score (someone who knows a good chop from a bad one)TO the entry and LESS value to a vote cast by a newbie or less experienced member with a lower PSC score (someone who knows less what makes a good chop) to the entry,thus making the voting fairer.A vote by someone just starting to chop should not have equal value as a vote cast by a member with many years experience and a high PSC score.Oh and Hore should be spelt Whore

New members can be very good and also a lot of experience, so i say 1- 10 votes, and all anonymus. Also with the low entries and votes it would take years to become a high psc score
