Multiple votes do not count!
11 July 2007
Judging from some of the feedback we've been getting over the past few days, there are still some things that need to be clarified concerning the voting and rewards system. It appears that there are some of you out there that think you can influence the votes by voting more than once for a certain design... however, only the last vote recorded counts by a member. Since we use a weighted voting system (i.e. the higher your status in the community the more your vote counts) as well as an average of total votes, sometimes clicking on GENIUS (for example) twice in a row will up the vote by 1 (or 2 or 3) leading some members to be fooled into thinking that multiple votes count... they do not.
Secondly, several members have contacted me concerning the referral system currently in place, with the new member having to enter the referrer's GT screen name. The consensus from these comments is that this is an unhandy method, as human error and laziness may cause misspelling or even omission of the referrer's name, which in turn leads to no one getting credit for the actual referral. This is something we are currently looking into and will be changing in the near future.
My thanks to those of you who sent us some feedback, we know that GTank is still a work in progress, and with your input and ideas, we can grow together as a community towards something great.
