Pff, I read the activity request list and boy, those are a lot of requests. But I'm pretty sure this one wasn't in it. I just hope it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere...

Anyway, I was wondering if how honest the voting on the contests was. Not that I am afraid of cheating or something like it, but what if a certian picture doesn't show up? Or what if I (don't) want to vote for any/all of the pictures? Or what if some pictures show up way more than others? I did see that sometimes... my favorite pictures would only show up rarely and others that I liked less kept returning...

Is it possible that we could make our own list or something of all the pictures? That we could drag and drop them in order or something like that? And the pictures then could get points for place they're on.
F.e.: There are 202 pictures in a contest. I would drag them in order. Then n.1 would get 202 points, n.2 would get 201 points, (...) and n. 202 would get 1 point. In the end, the picture with the most points would win.

That would be my solution... But then again, this probably takes aaaaages to built. And not many people will spend that much time on voting (atleast not at once) so there also should be a way of saving how far you got and that would probably take way to much space...

Boy, I wrote a huge commend... Sorry! I was just wondering...
I suddenly realised that I use flowers alot, and actually called it my signature. So TADAA:

With lots of thanks to Dragonlord Daegen for making my beautiful signature!

We talked about doing a rating system like we had in Create & Rate, where everyone picks their choices for first, second, and third. The problem is, most people will not look at 200 images to get an honest opinion of their favourites.

With the style of voting we have, each person will see some images more than others, but if you look at all of the people voting then it evens it out. This style of voting isn't about picking your very favourite image out of the whole bunch, its about seeing which ones people like most overall.

The way the voting chooses images to show is much like rolling a die. You might roll "6" four times in a row... but if you kept rolling long enough, eventually all of the numbers would come up roughly the same amount of times.

Hope that helps ;)
