member voting

[Horus]

do you think that members should be able to vote for themselves in competitions?

edit : support your reasoning please

[Dale]

Obviously not...

[jeebin]

yes

because its based on the artwork not the person
if the person likes wat they made the best
then they can vote for the one

I don't think that any member's should vote. I think a commitee of people should decide the winner. The general public dosen't always choose the most correct choice. =P

But yeah since it is public, people shouldn't vote for themselves. If you think your's is truely the best, don't vote.

[Horus]

i like the commities, they work well, especially with point systems
but with the general public, you can get a more accurate vote of what everyone likes

WHY shouldnt members vote for themselves though?

i think that another solution would be annonymous voting, like, just using a poll with no replies nesisary (i spelt that wrong...ah well)

Committees wouldn't be a bad idea, oligarchy all the way froflroflrforfl. But too time consuming, and the community may dispute the choices made by the committee + bias.

I'm all for people voting for themselves. Election candidates can vote (for themselves obviously), why shouldn't they? They are members of the community, and every member of the community has a right to vote. The one vote isn't going to tip the voting way off balance since the community > individual.

It is already a secret ballot, no one knows who voted for who unless except those that decided to post who they voted for.

the presidents can vote for themselves

I think we should have judges, like people that do not (can not) enter work are elected as judges or something, or maybe have 'void Judges' who normally judge things in battlegrounds and official competitions?

Just thought of that >.<

And of course they shouldn't be able to vote, no one taking part in the competition should be able to.
