The "Perfect" Voting System
Submitted by caedes 09/07/05 4:55 PM GMT
I'm glad that we have had so much discussion and new ideas on ways that the voting system and c-index *shudder* can be improved. As you may have heard, I have been working on a new system which I believe will fix most of the problems with the current one. The core idea behind this new system is that members will be asked to vote on specific (randomly chosen) images when they visit the site. The vote request will show up in your "Jobs" control panel when you are logged in. You will not know who the image is by and you will have to view the full size version before voting. Afterwards you have the option of visiting the image and making a comment. The advantages of this system are as follows:
- After a member votes on 10 or so images I will be able to modify the distribution of their votes so that they span over the whole range of values (1-10). This will eliminate vote inflation.
- A disgruntled member will not be able to vote all zeros on a victim's gallery. Members will not be able to vote all 10's on their friends images.
- Votes can be weighted according to the quality of the author's work. If you upload good images your vote counts more.
- Members will have to vote on a certain amount of images in order to upload an image. If you want 10 votes on each of your images, you will have to vote on 10 images per upload.
- Other advantages: a new era of peaceful coexistance? Less complaining? Cure world hunger?
Update:
test the system.
