Forum:New Voting System

Greetings, everyone!

I would like to discuss what needs to be done with the Wiki's voting center.

As you may know, it's used to acknowledge the best content on the Custom Bionicle Wiki.

What has been going on for the past six months is that once the system is rebooted for another voting, suggestions are flooding in very quickly and the votes come in even faster. The reason for this is because the center barely gets ANY update in the next two months (maybe even longer) that follow, even though it's believed that it should take only a month for the whole process to be completed. From my understanding, it's because the admins are not able to catch up with doing any updates as they have other things to focus on.

The issues with this are the following:
 * 1) Nobody is able to catch up with the sudden changes and it causes confusion amongst users.
 * 2) With these long waiting periods, users may get impatient and eventually will just give up on the voting center as a whole.
 * 3) New users that may have quality content that they would like to share, get barely any chance to get noticed.

This system is broken and we need to fix it right now!

After listening to several users on this site and hearing what they have to say, I have a suggestion of a new system.

This system would easily take the voting center back to it's expected one month-period. On the first week, all users may get the chance to submit content. As always, it may be their own or someone else's. The three other weeks that follow, users are then allowed on vote on each of the submissions they'd like to see on the main page. If this change is implemented, it would prove to be less stressful and time consuming than what the voting center is now.

But then we get to the problem with the admins, as I previously said, have barely any time to provide any updates. With that in mind, I've also come up with the solution to have a selected group of users that are skilled and are willing enough to take on the responsibility to update the voting center, '''every. single. month.''' No breaks, no unnecessary extended periods, nothing.

With this suggestion, I hope that we can make a more balanced system for the voting center and to let users that barely get noticed on this site, finally get the attention and recognition that they deserve.

Thank you all for reading this. Peace!
