Competitions suggestions Created 20 years ago2003-05-25 14:58:49 UTC by Skeeve

This suggestion could take a bit of coding, but would be worth the time.

I would guess that the greatest amount of time spent in managing the competition area is deciding on the winners. Create a script allowing members to vote for the competition entries.

In order to keep thing fair, the script should check to insure the user has not voting for the current competition.

Give each user three votes:

first place:  5 points
second place: 3 points
third place:  1 point

The main purpose of the point system is to minimize the chances of a tie. A tie breaker could be sent through the voting function again (limiting the voting choices)

A time stamp could be used to make the voting fully automatic.

Well work just calledd, so gotta go. But, I'm sure you all get the picture.

BTW, I'll log back onto IRC went I get back (approximately threee hours)

This reply's a bit late, but anyway.

Good idea there, but if you check out the newly-launched Map Vault, you'll see it pretty much fills the gap... I'm still working on integrating the Vault with the Competitions section, but when that's done, it should be pretty much what you're suggesting.

Thanks for the input!
