Weekly Contest voting thread8453

Moderator Jesse_O private msg quote post Address this user
Since the forum has gone to a three heart (for now) "like" system, it's been tossed about that we could change the way we vote. My thoughts are this would help to get more people voting and submitting. I'm sure that most people would at least get a few votes for their comic every week even if they don't win. That makes it a bit more fun for everyone. Plus, if you accidentally vote early, than you can decide if you want that one to have one, two or three votes when voting opens and we don't have to decide if an early vote counts or not. The voting would be:

3 votes = most favorite
2 votes = second favorite
1 vote = third favorite

You can vote for a maximum of three covers this way. And, if you decide to switch the order, you can.

If we don't do this, them we need everyone to only vote with one heart to make it easier to get an accurate count.

Please leave your comments here about this or if you have another suggestion. We need to get a consensus before deciding if we should switch or not.

I wonder if the people who accidentally vote early/too often are going to be able to keep track of where they put one versus two versus three votes. That said, either way you have to fix the mistake so I'm for the new system.

I'm ok with the change. If this happens, will it be for the current contest or start with the next one?

With so many good covers each week, this makes a lot of sense.

We'll let this go through tomorrow. If everyone seems to like the idea, I'll rewrite the guidelines for the next winner and we'll start it with the next contest.

@Jesse_O - Since next week’s contest will represent the 2 1/2 year anniversary of this contest, it’s kind of fitting that something be done to refresh and renew interest in the contest. Man, this contest has lasted longer than most television and cable shows, and even some marriages!

@Wraith It's my understanding that the hearts will be replaced. It will be a different symbol. But there will still be three and they will act the same way.

If people are only allowed to vote three times on one cover two times on another and once on another, that’s even more complicated and you’re going to have a lot more problems dealing with mistakes. You’ll have to verify each person that voted and how many times they voted on each of their three covers

Just Make it a free-for-all and be done with it lol

@shrewbeer If this were an official election or if there was some kind of money at stake, I'd agree with all that oversight. But it's not. It's a comic book cover contest. If Russia wants to manipulate the outcome - let them. This is all in fun, let's not get legalistic about it. If someone only wants to vote three hearts for one cover, so be it. Relax, this contest is for grins and giggles.

@OGJackster Don't worry, we're not giving out second and third place awards.
