[QUOTE="Painfully, post: 2631977, member: 601"] I haven't voted for the ENnies judges last year or this year for pretty much one reason: I'm not interested in the same judges calling the shots every year. When the judges can post, "been there, done that" and get a pile of votes, that tells me things need to change. It is essentially what some of the judges did in years past. Meanwhile, many new candidates put together much better campaign speeches out there, and barely got votes. For myself, I know that not having a cap on how many times a person can serve is reducing my interest in voting. When it all feels like a fix anyway, who cares? Two or three years of that can make a voter just shrug it off as meaningless. I think what we need here are some polls asking if people would like to see more new judges. I'm willing to bet that most people are interested in seeing new judges. How about all the candidates just qualify for judge status (i.e., 18 yrs of age, not a publisher, etc), and if they nominate themselves, they can get their name pulled out of a hat like a raffle. Fair? I think it's the only way to be fair to everyone from the repeat judges, to the newest candidates at the same time. But, the final selection is very random, and that's something I'd feel a lot better about, rather than the popularity contest that keeps the same judges returning for what might be the rest of their lifetimes if the process doesn't change, or the judges don't lose interest.
