TWO VOTE SESSIONS? MUTHA

[rinrin]

Judges can be discussing votes while the community is voting!

Guys, remember to take into account that voting only has a time span of 2 days. That's a lot of work for 2 days if we do have 2 voting sessions.

Well, like Rinn said. Open the community vote for the two days or w/e. At the same time, judges will make their votes within those two days.

SOTW leader aka Ami will add up all the votes and post the results.

With an open poll, it'd be easier for people to cheat. No? I mean, what's stopping people from making several accounts and voting for themselves multiple times? That's the biggest problem I can see with having open polls :/

[rinrin]

Can be similar to what we have right now like, giving reason an whatever. And it only counts for 1 vote. The judges vote still will be worth a LOT more than the community's

I agree with Kittie and Rin's idea and input. Have the judges give their votes but don't exclude the public fully. It's good to keep everyone involved when voting. If you could figure out a way to bring the community in with serious and unbiased votes than that would be amazing.

Prizes. Hmm, I like the user bar idea. Those shouldn't take tons of work to create and you can reuse the base for them and just add a name, date, and position? I don't know. I also like Jay's idea for the coupons. 100 for First, 50 for second, and 25 for third. It seems to go down the list evenly and fairly.

Sorry, I know I'm not that great of a graphics person but I thought I'd just agree with what I liked. :D

OH! I also would love to see a specific forum for signature competitions. The originality section is rather messy and the competitions take up most of the space, so I believe it deserves its own section.
