Vote for this year's ENnies judges!

[Crothian]

In 2002 we only had about 250 people vote, I wasn't able to locate the poll for last year to see how many people voted.

I think it was about the same.

...I know I can't be the only one who finds it odd that the highest vote only has 220 out of some thousands of registered people.

Now you're just being hurtful

 

[Snoweel]

You got my vote, TB. I think that's all that really matters.

What I find odd is that of the people I voted for, one didn't even need my vote, while the others won't get the job despite my support.

And where's Col Hardisson? It just won't be the Ennies without him.

I think the judges should have had to include a photo. Only Jeff did this. I want pretty judges.

I'm not sure if it's popularity that's an influence so much as 'name-awareness' perhaps.

So after these many long drawn out debates we have finally reached the concision that post count does matter.

Which is absolute crap. Post count & name awareness shouldn't matter.

The only way I know who to vote for is by what you post as I know known of any of you in person so yes in a way it does.

Post count shouldn't matter, and it doesn't. Take a look at thepost counts of the current leaders. Sure, Crothian's got over 17,000 posts. But Teflon Billy's got fewer than 1800, and Cthulhu's Librarian has fewer than 1000.

Unless we do the elections blind - with the candidate's names withheld and their campaign plugs scrubbed to remove evidence of identity - name recognition and/or popularity will always be a factor. Some parts of this are a bit annoying, but other parts are a selling point.

That sounds more than a tad bit like post count to me... It’s not the only factor but yes it does contribute. I've never said that the highest 5 post counts would win. I myself didn't vote for the highest 5 posts counts.
