[QUOTE="Dextra, post: 2058599, member: 5705"] [b]Voting Mechanics[/b] First of all, I'd like to thank those of you who are trying to educate us neo-Luddites in the mechanisms and vagaries of polling systems. I'm trying to wade through the information as best I can, and I'm sure between the ENnies Board of Directors and Michael Morris, with the help of such fine minds of ENWorlders, we'll have a truly excellent system. Jester47- technical details should be discussed with Michael Morris, although you're welcome to CC me in the conversations so I can pretend I understand what you're talking about. I have a question for you voting expert peeps. Last year we rated products on a scale, giving the chance to opt out if you weren't familiar with a given product. This is generating some discussion and apparently some consternation. What about the idea of rating products relative to each other- ie., there's five products, mark your fave as number one, and least fave as number five, and so on, then assign points to each value, and give the award to the top two scorers? Please forgive my ignorance, and try to be gentle as you explain this to me. [/QUOTE]
