Iīve also noticed that, a lot of the time, the earliest entries get the most votes. Iīm not saying that they donīt deserve them but there are a lot of late entries that deserve more votes as well. Why not start the voting AFTER the contest has ended? That way non advantage members have an (almost) equal chance of winning. That will, imho, motivate more people to participate and ultimately provide more paying members.
Yeah but the reason it is called advantage is just that so that people that pay have an advantage over non paying members... itīs an incentive to get people to pay and the site can get some income 
@SendasDesign, me good friend - like da other contest sites me d known, so many many rules, hehehe, but me only love this lovely psc site... psc s da best contest site in the internet...
@Luxwiz, me good friend - ya r totally right, n me am really trully agree with ya, fo da living of this lovely psc site...

Seems like most, if not all the contests, the winner of that contest was really the best entry.
I don't see a lot of cheating the system where a non deserving entry wins...

eventhough anon o prize contests, someone can cheat by telling n showing friends his/her pic in a contest to vote...
maybe da voting system s a very difficult problem t solve... there must be no status (leader, hall of fame, records holder o popular members), no search, no portfolio, no forum, no chat, and no pm in site design t avoid each other fo communicating, but if doing so, da design of da site s so empty, n we can't know each other, n that s not good... pheuhhh... it can't b solve... just a hope that no one s cheating in a contest...
it can't b solve...
Indeed, votes from nepotism or bad judgement is very hard to tackle. Maybe some extreme cases, so you have to vote at least three entries or a percentage (otherwise you can't vote). And with a more detailed review, a rating for effort, humor, idea, theme, creativity, execution, originality, details etc, for a total figure, and everybody can see this voting behavior. And if it differs a lot from the rest (the voting details and how often / who you vote ) it's noted as 'suspicious'... 
Haha, I was thinking up loud, we need a rocket scientist over here to code this kind of stuff... 
oh my where is a similar system employed? The perfect voting system does not exist, but you can make an effort to get close to it. You want it to be more fair? you need more rules. Live with it.

I do get that but it doesn't seem fair to me that the first few entries get the most votes. Maybe there should be a speedchop contest as well then. Otherwise, as mentioned here before "...mind you the quality of the winning chops would leave a lot to be desired".

Yes, first few entries get the most votes mostly as they are done by advantage (having/using) members, but also because of general inactivity. It wouldn't be the same if there was 30-40 votes per entry (as it was way back). But on other hand i found this challenging at the beginning (2009), as speed is also crucial in PS if you tend to use it heavy or professionally...but, this place is so relaxed that your options are limited by your personal imagination. Besides anonymous contests, there are speed chops also, but if you don't like any of that, post your suggestion right here in forum and organize your own event as many times before: Just a duel between two members (dome), polls instead of votes, chose a date (if it's not taken) of some speed chop and spice it up to something different, day of cool of period for votes for example... what ever you can think of basically That's why I'll never leave this ghost town - no suffocating, binding rules or domineering narcissists swarming over some cup of gold

It can be a simple statement: If I don't believe voting system works properly - i do not need to use it at all.
Is it self destructive here? absolutely! but it's not necessarily contradictory

I don't think I completely understand your logic here... I think a good voting system is any voting system where people vote honestly and fairly for a chop that is obviously well done in any of the given categories regardless of or w/o being influenced by who did the chop... Dont really know what you mean by ... "one vote given s fo da best/wow picture" cause I can't believe you didn't think any of the other 23 chops weren't worthy of a vote.IMO in this comp there were a lot of,as you say "wow pictures".You see If everyone that entered the contest used your criteria "da best choice t make da best voting system... just 1 vote given t da member, n just vote 1 wow pic entry out of many entries..."
and just cast one vote each,you are given 25 votes to use after all, there would have been very few total votes in the comp and this reunion comp would have appeared to be a bit of failure,don't you think ? and "our lovely PSC site"would have one more nail in it's coffin... don't take me wrong and I'm just expressing my opinion but you really didn't do much to help support our lovely PSC site and make the reunion contest a success by only casting one vote and thus contributing to this shitty voting system you are questioning...
