Preparing for Superlatives

almost 8 years

PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL

Greetings everyone! As some of you may know, Superlatives Year Three is starting in about two weeks!

For those who don't know, superlatives is basically a voting competition divided in two round: Nominating and Choosing. During the Nominating progress, everyone will propose who they think the best candidate for a certain category is. Out of everyone's vote, the three most voted will pass the round. (Can be just two, or more than three depending on ties) Then we'll go to Choosing progress. There, everyone will vote the best out of the nominated people. And then, the most voted of every category will win for this year.

Now, there are two things I'd want to ask the community about.

First, it's just questions ideas. I'll be recycling a lot of questions from the previous two years and I'll add some more on my own, but I also want to know of questions that some of you may be interested in. I'll leave a list of the questions from the previous two years, without spoiling the new questions in the post after the OP. The ones that seem to be more liked, and the ones that I personally like the most will be added to the Year Three competition. The questions should be someone in which a lot of people should be voted for, so try to avoid things like "best sandbox owner" "best sandbox mod" etc where only a select few are even options. No negative questions either.

Second, the anti-rigging system.

Now, I know it's just the minority, and some of them are probably just kidding or trolling, but I have received some complaints about it being rigged. Wheter it was by me personally, or by other users manipulating the votes.

The system I worked with in Year Two, was a pretty complex one that would have taken a lot of effort to rig, as it automatically blocks people to voting by both IP and computer itself (idr the exact name of the thing I'm talking about, but its something unique in each computer). Furthermore, I banned entries that had too many blanks or repeated the same users over and over, as well as I'd check what was going on in very similar/identical entries. I also shared the entries publicly with some censorship due to slurs and threats I got, and explained which entries were banned and why, and I even offered to share it without any kind of censorship or explanation to everyone that requested it (and a few people did)

I personally think that's enough. Trying to pass over all of those security checks just to have extra votes in a Superlatives is something that I doubt people would care enough to do.

But, the last security thing I can add, and that will be up to all of you, is wheter I should ask or not for a username.

This would mean that the in the first "question" of the poll, you'd have to put your username, and then you would also need to either pm me or post in the thread that you voted.

This would, however, mean that once I have to share things, everyone will know what your votes were in every category. This could bring unnecessary drama and also maybe some people won't vote what they actually think just to don't look bad with their circlejerks or friends.

I think that's all. I insist that I personally don't think a measure like that is needed, because I really doubt anyone cares enough about these to rig it, knowing all the security checks they'll have to go through.

Anyways that's all for now!
