gooseberry fool has hit the fan this page.
I'll state for the group that I do take all the votes very seriously. For something that seemed so simple on paper, I'll probably have to deal with every permutation of problem before this process is over. Any set of votes that look close to identical to an earlier set are disregarded. There have been zero so far but one or two have come close. My favourite trick is people scoring themselves with something other than 100 hoping I won't notice. Unfortunately, my system is fool proof and no-one has bested me yet, even PsychicSykes who likes to give himself scores of 20.
Any sets that hug a single figure (eg 50) for the majority of their votes with next to no deviation will also be removed, but I have yet to have any jump out at me. But this is something I will review in lieu of your comments.
Apart from those two situations, however, I hope people can respect other forumite's opinions whether positive or negative. As I require at least twenty sets of votes before closing a category, a single person can only affect a maximum of 5% of your final score. This entire process will not work if voters cannot confidently give their opinions. I still accept votes by PM if people feel they'd rather vote in this manner and a number of you are taking up this offer. If you have reason to believe a particular person has altered their score on you as an act of 'revenge', send me a PM and I will review your case even if I don't respond to you personally.
Finally, to show that results have so far not been 'ruined' by any voting, I'll post up the current scores in graphical form.
Humour is the y-axis.
