This is a very good idea and would help voting, but will everybody understand it? And can it be implemented?animehaus wrote:Maybe it's a dumb suggestion, but I thought about a hybrid system, mixing the previous and present ones: voting would still be by stacking, and everybody would vote on everybody, but the left column could be divided in 5 vertical areas, to correspond to the "1" to "5" ratings from the previous system. This way, people could separate the big group in smaller ones and, later on, stack the tracks inside the groups according to their preferences: this would automatically work as a tiebraker as well, in case of equal scores.
Wow this is something I missed in the considerations. As you say, with the new system, tactical voting will be just as effective or more than the old one in some cases..crimsonwarlock wrote:I really think we are over thinking the voting issue; the previous system looked pretty solid to me (and simple). I don't see how someone could actually 'skew' the votes; that might have been the case with 15 or so participants, but with the current amounts someone could flip a first and second place by aggressive voting, but with those numbers it is impossible to get someone who is ranking top three (for example) down to say 'below top ten'.
Hmm...
