Photo Challenge 3: Judging

    That time has come again... This time we've got alot more pictures than last time and so to save my sanity I'm going to try a different method of voting. It's a little bit of a thrown together effort but I'm still working on something more solid that'll allow for a greater number of pics. This months highly technical voting system is.... email!

    email boardsphotochallenge@gmail.com and in the subject line put the number of the photo you want to win. Yes I know it's crude, but it just could work... One vote per person obviously.

    The photos are available now at http://www.flickr.com/photos/boardsphoto/

    Voting will run until at least one of the following criteria is satisfied.
    1. The end of the month arrives
    2. A clear winner emerges
    3. I get sick of counting email votes.

    May the best man/woman/child win.

    Hows the voting going?

    May I suggest that in future that only one photo per person should be entered. This will ensure that the best photos reach the voting stage.

    Thanks

    Also, I feel that there are loads of pics (37 in total) there prolly wont even be 37 ppl voting, therefore I think it would be better if what Slumped suggested would be taken into account. I know it's still at the early days, and that ur having difficulty figureing out the bast way to do it, but this wouldn't be a bad idea.

    A little lame I know but can one vote for oneself?

    Maybe 1 pic per person is a better idea.

    It says in the rules i think, that to have some sportsmanship, dont vote for urselves. Also, as not many ppl will be voting it'd be unfair, and kinda ruin it. Dont bother voting for urslef.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,537 ✭✭✭Downtime


    Had no intention of it - just thought it would be funny if only those who entered voted for themselves. Tight draw then !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    first you want three pics.. then you want one pic.. I'll strangle the lot of ye! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,537 ✭✭✭Downtime


    We're just trying to make life easier for you.:D Maybe two pics then - meet in the middle so to speak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus

    so none...!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    Well, I voted.

    This is the reason why we should have less pictures, so it's easier for there to be a clear winner. Rather than one vote here and one vote there.

    The whole emailing voting is a terrible idea.
    Just have a poll if numbers allow, limited to one vote each.
    Or, people just reply to a voting thread.

    I've seen one pic i like, but i can't be bothered emailing in my vote.
    Call it a protest. :p

    Oh and as mentioned limit it to one pic per person, with no voting for oneself.

    You think I don't know this already?

    Numbers don't allow in this case, unless you want to go creating a 40 odd choice poll...

    I could call it alot of things, but if you want to call it a protest, we'll stick with that.
