a public vote is too hard to monitor and our first contest ppl tp'd in friends to vote. this is not about that.
also, our panel is made up of people who also vote and do NOT see each other's votes at all. they are submitted and treated as two separate number then combined.
we find this very fair as neither the panel OR the community can choose.
art is very subjective and it's not fair to say the "top" designs had the most community votes. because that is subjective. also, people can vote for more than one. (not the panel, just the community)
hope that makes sense!
so with the community vote considered and the panel, these winners won and i congratulate them, and also everyone who participate. it's SO
hard to vote every time!!
Then why ask the public to vote?
Then it's really just best not to ask the public to vote. As I stated, it will leave a bad taste for those who had the most votes. Having a panel of private judges will be the best action moving forward.
really not sure why it would leave a bad taste in their mouth if they understood there is a 2 part vote. many contests have 2 and 3 and more part stages etc.
perhaps we need to make it more clear that there are 2 votes that are added. we thought we had!!
we'll have to look at that.
thanks for your input and the opportunity to answer.
