Thoughts about voting

[kerravonsen]

Okay, so we did multi-choice, and that seemed to work. However, I'm wondering if we might adjust the "winners" selection a bit more, to prevent one person (like me) from hogging all the glory. I suggest that, in each section, if someone's icon has already gotten a place, then their other icons get skipped (for that section for that challenge). For example, if Icon A by Person X gets first place in a section, and Icon B by Person X gets second place in a section, and Icon C by Person Y gets third place, then Icon B isn't counted, and Icon C gets second place instead. Does that seem fair? Let me know what you all think.

I think it is irrelevant if one person "hogs all the glory." If their icons are that good, then they are that good. If everyone likes them, then they like them and their votes should stand.

Since the voting is anonymous, this didn't turn into a popularity contest. Your icons earned their place, so don't worry about it.

I agree with this.

I think merit on an individual basis is good, because when we vote we don't know who has made the respective icons. I like the fact that the comm is about style and not content, so it's nice to be able to judge a fandom icon against a stock icon and not be swayed by votes for favourite characters/show etc.

Before I saw the results I posted with effect to the above, but then I realised that it's not just yourself that got the votes, I guess I'm guilty of that too and I can fully appreciate/support the thinking behind one icon maker, one icon.

I'll go with whatever the majority is on this.

I think it's okay if the same person wins two places or two of their icons tie for a place. Especially since no names are tied to an icon when we're voting. We're voting because either we liked the icons or the icons fit into that week's style challenge.

Whatever works best for the mod is OK with me.

perhaps the icons could be re-arranged in their order so that--if someone (and many did so) post their icons at once--icons of the same creator are not published next to each other.

No, it would make it harder for me, first when making the voting poll, and second when tracking down who did what when the results come in. And for not that much benefit, really. I trust that people will vote for what they find good, and aren't trying to guess who did what.

Oh, okay, didn't know what technical stuff is behind a poll!

My idea was related more to the style of the icons telling that e.g. these three in a row come from one person the next two from someone else &c. It was not about who actually did what,
