As for making the contest more fair from a voting standpoint, we have some ideas for that, such as having two phases: submission phase and voting phase. Start one thread a week early to "preload" the content...votes on any entries in this thread are meaningless. Start a second thread, a mod adds all the submitted entries from the submission phase (including links to the profile of each submitter) and close the topic. Answers in closed topics can still be voted on, but no more answers can be added. | |

| Sep 6, 2011 at 19:24 | comment | added | Imre | If the moderators agree that they can be decisive voters between eventual top entries in exchange of giving up early voting, then this could be a solution indeed. I know you're not going to like it, but an early vote has more weight since people tend to like more what other people seem to like (Cialdini's "Influence" explains it nicely), so early voters have the power of giving others hints on what should reach the top at all. | |
