Member Opinion, make your opinion count Options

[boxieblue]

this is the thread where i will ask u guys for your opinion on stuff regarding. please do not spam this topic, as it will not be tolerated.
but i would love to hear your opinion on things important to WPC....

my first question is.....
we have a LOT of entries this time. and voting for just 3 seems to less, and too difficult (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
so i was suggesting you could vote for more. for example, this week you vote for 6 entries.
1. 8 pts
2. 6 pts
3. 4 pts
4. 3 pts
5. 2 pts
6. 1 pts

or you could suggest a different format of your own...let me know what u think

[ahodarkar]

in rc we give
1st 6pts
2nd 5pts
3rd 4pts
4th 3pts
5th 2pts
everybody else 1pt

this way...nobody ends up wid 0 points...t newcomers dont get disheartened...as they would wen they see a 0 in front of their name
i remember how distraught i was wen i participated in tmc for fun
3 tries later i still dint get 1 lousy point
never participated again

besides if u observe keenly...the 1 pt that everybody else get changes t dynamics of t vote

[Gault]

i agree with ahodarkar. still we should make the number of votes : 5

1 : 6 points
2 : 5 points
3 : 4 points
4 : 3 points
5 : 2 points

and all the rest 1 point. exactly what ahodarkar said.

I have changed a litle bit rules in RC, when it become so popular. Voting depends on number of participants.

If we have less then 7, we vote for 3 of them.
If we have 7-10, we vote for 5
If we have more then 10 - we vote for 7 of them.

By that system Ameya mention. (all others gets 1 point each)

Why not? I agree with Jasmina (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

[boxieblue]

hmmmm....four opinions so far and each of them wants to give the non-voted guys 1 point each.....looks like i will have to go along with that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
so this week you guys are going to vote for 5 or 7 people....will let you know in the voting thread itself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[boxieblue]

ok...the issue of voting has been resolved for the time being, though i still welcome member comments on the issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

but now, for my next question......

how would u guys like a non-stop WPC, where every week u will get TWO DAYS more then you are currently getting?!?!
the plan is thus:
every week, on Monday (GMT 00:01) i start the new thread for the week. BUT! the voting thread for the previous week also begins at the SAME TIME! the voting thread lasts till wednesday night. and the guy who wins will have his theme implemented next week.

and as for the normal thread, it will continue till Sunday night. so this way, you have a continous flow of WPC topics, and you won't have to WAIT for two days like u currently have to, since the "only-voting" days of Monday and Tuesday will be eliminated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) so in all, you have SEVEN days to make something! but an important reason i am saying this is because it gives me more time to invite newbies over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[ahodarkar]

innovative but a trifle confusing

[boxieblue]

confusing? oh no! u just get a new topic every monday...simple as that

and u can vote any time from monday to wednesday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[ahodarkar]

people will have to wait one whole week to know f theyve won

[boxieblue]

not really! like i said the result will STILL come out the same day as before....so u will still find out on tuesday/wednesday like u did before. the only thing is that YOUR theme will be implemented one week late (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Completely Agree with @pantoflica..
I m first time in competition n if not even 1 point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/weightlift.gif)

Sounds very disheartening!!

so lets follow what Rc manager has suggested (IMG:style_emoticons/default/10.gif) ..The fun will never end with newbies also n participation n not just winning will be important!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[boxieblue]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) okay okay guys! everyone get's atleast 1 point from each voter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) but Shalu, what are ur opinions on my second question above?

[Gault]

well i dont agree with it. 3 days for voting. OMG you've got to be kidding me. 72 hours.

i think 24 hours was enough.

[boxieblue]

ok fine. 48 hours for voting....but the more important issue here is the continous WPC weeks....no one is talking about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
