[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 979780, member: 5988"] I'm not involved in the set up or administration of the voting, but yes, this is they way I understand the stated voting process. Your example is VERY extreme though. Yes, some products are much lesser known ( due to distribution, publish date or other factors ) and will receive less votes. As per my example above, it COULD very well be several hundred votes less than another product! If more people have a read a book in a category (say ... Epic Level Handbook ) than it will receive many more votes than the lesser known and lesser distributed books in that Category. But if every other product in that category is "better" ( as determined by ranking ) than the ELH, but each only gets half as many total votes, then it still deserves a chance to win IMO. There should probably be a minimum nuber of votes required to win though IMO to avoid situations like your extreme example. See my "confidence level" stats in my previous post. [/QUOTE]
