Lmao at how inflate the number of votes are.
This is really out of hand.
I liked it more when first place had less or around 100 votes in total. Now we are at 300 and counting and even if the vast majority voted for CSM in first place, and rightly so because it was a chapter that took the interest of many users here, if around 30 people can give a series about 10+ votes then that is just too much.
Actually the vast majority of these numbers comes from the comment rankings alone, CSM had over 200 in the comments, so if you guys just keep voting all in the same series in both comments and the traditional poll, this is what will happen, not my fault.
Yeah, but you are the one adding value to our votes. With old systems CSM would be somewhere between 100-200 votes, still high but not 300 votes high. We are just 40-50 people voting on this poll weekly, I think our votes should reflect that amount of voters.
Nah. When one can gives out maximum 42 votes, the system must be fucking bonker.
We got that much already? Didn't we start like traditional only where we could back 3 or 5 choices then?
You guys are the ones who rank each series at your own will, i just count the votes, so if 7 of 10 users place CSM for example at 1st place knowing that will receive the max points and still also vote in the series in the other poll, CSM will look like that, this week like i said i will already reduce to 2 points in the traditional to balance things more, but even if it was like before CSM would still look insane with 243 points.
Bit less insane than 300+ votes if you ask me.
I really like the Top5 more than the Top3 we were doing way before but can we go and lower the amount of points we hand out to those Top5s? Like keep traditional at one point and then change value of the Top5 Comment to 5-4-3-2-1 then in total we got 20 votes. Half of what we can hand out currently and still a lot of votes per person, maybe even still too much but it would be closer to our real representation as voter force than what we are doing right now. Because if you compare the current 42 point system with the 20 point system we once had then each of us is voting "twice" as if we were two users. So if 15 people vote for CSM first place then it would actually be like 30 and that skews the poll to be "top heavy". I think the poll was more "even" when we had less votes as one vote out of 20 is more valuable than one out of 42 so we had rankings between 0-100 thus it felt impressive when a series got over 100 votes due that system allowing a max of 6 points as highest ranked series as it meant more than 17 people had given it that highest amount of point. Right now you need less than 10 highest ranked to breach 100 votes. That doesn't feel right. And if a series got 0 points it got 0 points because nobody wanted to give up a valuable point out of pity as like right now you could hand out 1s like candy as one vote doesn't mean much when comment votes are worth so many points at once.
So yeah, can we go and test 20 points again? Or make a poll to ask us what system we prefer after witnessing quite some changes to the voting systems we had so far? Like Traditional only (Top5-each 1 vote=5 total), Old Mixed (Top5-each 1 vote + Top5 commented 15 votes = 20 total) or New Mixed (Top 5 each 2 votes = 10 + Top5 commented 32 = 42 total). Then we would know what the majority of readers here feel comfortable as value to their choices.
