Voting method for future photo contests

Chewy734 · 02-25-2011, 10:25 PM

haha... no more polls! How about we use a random number generator to pick the winner from now on?

The1 · 02-25-2011, 10:27 PM

i think that's best. then everyone has equal opportunity no matter their skill with a camera

"Identified voters and multiple votes per person" still in the lead

UdubBadger · 02-25-2011, 11:01 PM

and it'll most likely stay that way...

most of the regulars have already voted.

I'm waiting until the last minute to see which 'single vote' option has the best chance of winning before casting my vote.

Also, I cry foul on spreading out the 'single vote' voters by also making this poll about anonymous vs public voting.

Haters gonna hate.

Wow, take it easy. All you have to do is add the anonymous and public votes together. No harm, no foul.

Tone is hard to read, guys. I don't take the internet that seriously. T'was just an observation.

Don't call people "haters" unless you mean it, I'd suggest. The inflections of your mind are indeed hard to read when you use words like that.

bosstones · 02-26-2011, 03:33 PM

I always considered "haters gonna hate" to be something of a whimsical phrase/statement when used in the forums.

Voice your opinions here (either through rants or votes)! I'll put up the new voting thread tomorrow morning.

UdubBadger · 02-27-2011, 07:59 PM

Can I just ask honestly... is it fair that 5 out of the 6 people who voted for Anonymous voters and 1 vote per person I've never seen even enter one of these contests or even post in the Photo section (which I could have easily just missed them but still...)?

agreed. that's like asking someone off the street their opinion when they've never participated.
