Please, no changes for the sake of changes. The current system works and I can't seem to find any flaws in it. In short, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Another point being, picking three best entries is hard enough as it is, don't complicate it even more by adding the weight element to our votes. Then I'd have to wonder "Does this entry deserve 0.3 points more? Or how about I take 0.1 from this one and add 0.4 to that one?! Oh, the possibilities!! Let me just spend the whole afternoon with this problem." As to why it's "pick 3", well...all the competitions use this as the universal rule. Why be different? I guess that's our case as well.

What is this some kind of cheap personal attack, or bait? If you are such a guru go ahead and explain to me the great merits of the current system, rather then just act like you're smarter then everyone. I'm not going to debate with such shallow and subjective circular nonsense.

Also, you didn't answer why 1-pick is so bad. It should still be easier to count, assuming you don't want to use a poll. And people are more enthusiastic when they have just one person to root for. 3 is just a mood-killer. I wonder if people can even remember the 3 they voted for...

I agree with Larthak, changes made for the sake of changing arent normally viewed as a good thing. Again if its not broke dont fix it and like Solace pointed out itll probably be more complicated for the counters. If we had tons of ties every month, I might suggest we change the current format but we dont and why after over a year and half (maybe even more since I dont remember when SOTM started) bring this up now?

Well, "is harder for the counters" the only problem you all have? (not sarcasm) Quote:

No, if he has an entry in the competition he can also vote.

Can I authorize someone else to cast my votes for SOTM for me? I intend to take a two-week hiatus as of today/tomorrow, but would like to vote...could I have someone do that for me?

I am new and am planning to enter the Nov'10 contest, and I have some Q's.
- Must our entries be saved in JPEG format only? - Who is the contest organiser, who I must PM my entry to? (Solace?) - Are text allowed in our entries? Thanks a lot. BTW, 50,000 bytes is kinda restrictive >.< |
