One way that I think you might get a more accurate measure of the top five pictures would be for each person to be able to have a list of their "Top 5 favorites", excluding their own work. As the month goes on, we could have the freedom to change these around as new pics come in. Have a formula that assigns points based on the fact that your picture has been ranked in someone's top 5 and the position that it is ranked. At the end of the month everyone's top 5 would be locked in and the final top 5 would be ranked based on accumulated points. This would take the ammunition away from the blitzers and also help us rank our favorites. What do you think? |

I'm not sure how you would do it with different categories, though. It's rare I would vote a gothic or face category into a top 5. I guess it would have to be split up by themes. |

sounds horribly complicated - what's wrong with basing it on votes ? |

I suppose it is complicated. That is why I posted for others to comment on it. Sometimes different ideas can spur better ones. To answer your question, there are a couple of reasons it would be good... |

I think it's a pretty good idea. |

OK.. how about if you could vote one of these (and only one) : |

I think we should all dance naked under the stars, chanting oooravotacrapa till God shows us the error of our ways... Then we must sing praise to God & Rachel and our troubles will be over... |

Matthew! I actually hate you! (Just kidding...) But I'm reading along in this thread (trying to catch up after an extended, and much needed break) and I get towards the end and I'm thinking "And may God show us the error of our ways. I am NOT kidding. Then I read your post. Would you please step out of my head and aloow me a moment of Matthew-free contemplation! Do you know how to reduce my taxes this year per chance? |

marg, i like your idea a lot, but i think it complicates things a little too much. |

I'm wholly in agreement with likemee. What he says about the voting is absolutely true. We want to give encouragement to newcomers so we are generous. When we were beginners ourselves we were being more honest with our ratings. Then, the "1 voter" got in the way and it all became too sensitive. Now, with most people voting 5 for the drawings that they like, anything less sticks out like a sore thumb and seems unkind. |

It would be nice if people could create their own galleries of pictures, including their own and other people's pictures. |

If we take away the ability to vote for our own work, All the pics with 1 vote would now have none... Now the highest rated would be a lot cleaner... |

Many of us rarely vote for our own drawings. I don't understand how taking away that facility will help, matthew. |
||
14. 26 Jan 2009 08:35 | ||
I was of the understanding that our own votes were not taken into account. |

Ok... Give every pic a 1 vote by default... That way a pic gets one 5 vote... thier average is 3... a pic gets nine 5 votes & thier average is 4.6... as you can see, each vote of 5 will continue to raise your average & it eliminates the "perfect" overall score untill you have nearly 1000 perfect 5 votes... If you get that many without even a 4 vote... you deserve it...lol... |

The problem as I see it is that a lot of the best work is being given a 1 vote out of spite or jealously or whatever. Qsilv's awesone jolly roger flag dropped right to the bottom of the showcase from 2nd place. My suggestion would be one of 2 things: |

I agree with a lot that's been said here, but some of the soultions seem very complicated. I think we should all vote honestly, a vote of 4 is still a very good vote, it just means there's room for improvement. I do think if you're going to give a 1 vote you really need to explain why. Perhaps if there was a log that recorded who gave the vote that would curb some of the spiteful 1 voting. If you knew that the person you voted badly for could tell you did it you'd think twice about it. |

matthew, i think you have finally solved the problem. what you have proposed works in nearly every respect. the only downside would be to be starting from 1, but this wouldnt matter if it was applied accross the board. |

Maybe I'm a bit mathmatically challenged, but I don't see how giving everything a one starting off is going to solve anything. ?? |

So, likemee, what type of voting system do you propose ....He he. |
