[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 2624754, member: 474"] There are legion voting methods, and we're not even using the method you mention -- we're getting up to 5 votes each. Approval voting, the (shudder) Borda count, any of the Condorcet methods, first-past-the-post with variable votes, IRV, reverse vote, block voting... the list goes on. All of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and suggesting that FPTP 1-vote is the only way (or the only "democratic" way) is a little deceptive. Like I said, I'm glad you're going to be a judge this year -- you're a good guy and a competent judge, at least in my opinion. I enjoyed working with you on the ENnies way back when. :p Still, I wonder about other ways to set up the voting system. As far as the analysis of postcount vs. vote rank, I see that 7 of the top 8 vote-getters are in the top 8 for postcount. That's not all bad, but it does once again make me wonder. [/QUOTE]
