i have a quick question and it's perfectly fine if you don't agree.
i was discussing through comments the voting rules. a few other members and myself were wondering if you'd ever consider changing the voting back to what it was before.
i'm a new member and i've been reluctant to submit stories partially because even if all the members vote for my stories, there's a good chance that i still wouldn't place, based on the opinion of only 2 people.
i don't mind the way voting is now, i think it's fine and i would still vote even if the rules stayed the same. i'm only bringing it up because other members have also questioned.
i just kind of think that people who are capable of writing stories are capable of knowing good writing when they read it (i heard that a member in the past said they were not qualified to judge writing).
let me know what you think lol i'm just throwing that out there.
As another member mentioned to me, it's very discouraging for someone when one of their stories is voted as first or second place, but then doesn't place at all and then a story that wasn't voted for at all places.
i promise i'm not trying to complain lol i'm just wondering if this is kind of a conflict of interest here
oh no problem lol it's not really a big deal, i was just letting you know that some people were wondering about it. i don't have a problem with any of the winners because i didn't enter any stories lol but i did vote and it was just a strange turnout. i definitely understand the whole thing about getting too many ties etc. it's fine lol i just wanted to let you know.
ohhhhhhhh i get it now lol i thought you guys just picked your favorites "taking into account the voting" but you do actually go by voting, it's just that mods' choices get 2 points added on! ok lol it makes more sense now. thanks =)
