On the vote page, I think photos should be sorted by your vote in descending order... so all photos which you have given a high vote to will be at the top of the page and low vote photos will be lower down the page.
If this is implemented, voters can first run through all the photos, viewing them individually and giving each of them a rough vote. After all the photos have been rough voted, the voter would return to the vote page and compare his/her votes and review the photos in order of vote (10s first then 9s etc)... it then becomes nice and easy to compare photos and make your detailed/final votes in the order of your preference.
But voters must be made aware that some photos can get equal votes. Voters should be encouraged to vote on all photos and not just vote on the best 10.
I think this vote sorting idea will make it much easier to compare your votes and make good/fair votes.
I noticed with the Macro challenge, as I go through the voting process I am pretty certain that my voting criteria is changing.. and I’m having trouble remembering which photo got which vote and how it compares to the current photo I’m voting on... Now if this is happening with 50 odd photos, what is going to happen when there are 100s of photos??? (by the way, i think a new method might have to be invented if there are 100s of photos???)
Man, sorry about the long story.. I hope it makes sense
How does the forum feel about this idea??
