RE: Spotlight Entertainment Contest #3 - Enter to Win 10,000 SP for 2 Weeks!
i hate to say this but the idea of selecting the winners by the vote amounts in their comment, totally sucks. there would be someone who would put a wonderful entry that can win, but he or she won't win because he or she wouldn't be able to collect enough votes to win. may be he or she didn't had many followers, may be he or she is not willing to send people money to get vote in his or her comment. how is this fair to judge the winners by the amount of vote??
Spotlight is working on some things around this. Good comment.
Hi @masummim50 I understand your concerns. We're working on a new voting system that people can decide to tip the balance for highly talented entries. In the meantime, the comment voting system is more secure than counting upvotes, as they can be very easily botted. Comment votes aren't perfect, but it's widely agreed to be the most unbiased system available to us right now.
so you will let anyone win with a stupid video who gets to manage 200 or more vote comment is his comment?
@masummim50 The contest acts as a weekly bursary. If you fulfill all the criteria and win the final vote, you will win the prize. We aren't going to step in and tell hundreds of people that their favorite entry is less than exceptional.
That said, if you feel like the entries aren't up to par, then you can raise the bar by making an entry of your own. In the meantime we're working on a 2-tiered voting system which should help give more control to the audience/voters.
