FurBuy: To vote or not to vote?

Posted 10 months ago

There have been some concerns brought up about the idea of voting on the top three contest entries, with people voicing complaints that the most popular artist(s) will win because their fans will flood the votes.

Ideally, I'd like this to be a fair vote based on design and artistic quality, but the points people have made are valid. I've considered making the voting members-only, but then we might have the same problem, just that people would flood the site with multiple accounts to sway the votes.

So the question is: will people be more upset if we hold the votes and it goes to the most popular artist? Or would people be most upset if we cancel voting and resort to admins' choice?

    The thing is that either way people are going to complain. I say do the admin vote regardless. What Furbuy can do is prevent multiple accounts that way only one vote per person can be tracked.

      I agree with marcvre. Let Admins be the only ones to put the votes. If an artist is more popular that doesn't mean than it will be more skilled than anyone.
