MOTM system proposal Created 16 years ago2008-03-02 16:34:16 UTC by Soup Miner

Ok, the current MOTM voting system is so primitive that it almost makes me cry. Its subject to peer pressure, off topic discussions, and never turns out more than a handful of votes because its not user friendly. So I propose a radically different system.

Create a new page dedicated to voting for MOTM. Inside this page are all the maps from the corresponding month(listed dynamically accoring to submission dates, of course). Each map listed can be linked to the matching map in the vault. Under each map lies a check box of which only one can be selected, and a "VOTE!" button at the bottom of the page. Once a vote is cast, a database logs the user who cast said vote so that if the user votes again, his vote is changed, not added.
Something like this:

Heh, that's how the new system should and will work, only there's no separate voting page. I don't really think we need a whole whopping MV-like page. Simply adding documentation on how and where to vote, making the motm awards/icons in winner map MV pages link to their respective review pages and more publicity would do, imo.

the old system for voting has already been scrapped. ant wants me to make the motm vault too, so give me ten minutes >_>

edit: Here you go.
The vote system had already been made, so it was a simple matter of adding the MOTM vault. (it's also in the vault index page!)

Get voting, if you haven't already!

Like literally ten minutes or is that an expression :> Also when are old journals coming back :<

literally ten minutes, but it turned out to be half an hour

look up two posts.

When I try to vote for cp_goldfinger it says Map Not Found : <

And the journals? : >

Sweet I like it.

oops, sorry. 'map not found' bug is plugged
