How terrible! We have to log-in to vote for our own caps as “favorites of the day”. That’s a dead-give-away that we’re voting for ourselves.

Oh come on, Larry. That’s what you said when the captain started handing out jewel handled cutlasses to his favorites.

I fear this will only lead to jealousy, envy and sword fighting on pirate ships.

What Fred said.

What UpSky said.

What tinaw said.

What Generik sa- wait a minute!! Okay, forget that, I’m not voting for my own comment (or captions). But I think all three of those fine folk made good points. Don’t make me quote Three Dog Night again.

NEWS FLASH: Alpha Centauri A ambassador* registers formal complaint with US Embassy, that GersonK is crowding their system’s borders, and that further leaning will scarcely be tolerated by the brave Centaurians!

Slightly more seriously, persons etc, I think that some reform such as more votes e.g. two as I proposed (but of equal weight + older vote of two already posted bumped off – slightly more data to track that way, yes), but with a tradeoff such as not being able to vote for one’s own captions (thus enforcing modesty on we crackheads and gentlemen/ladies) … would be interesting to try.
The two times I’ve seen the favorite caps page, it wasn’t empty. But the single-vote captions weren’t much to cheer… how about two votes of equal weight, but the single-vote captions go on a sub-page (the ‘lesser faves’ ?).

OK, too elaborate. I don’t seriously suggest anything. GersonK’s doing fine!

…except for that provocation of the Centaurians.

Wow, you guys are persistent. I’ve gone back to the drawing board, though officially it’s not on account of the whining, but the fact that the favorites is so elite it’s practically empty.

Until I find something that’s not considerably more complicated than the current system but still choosier than the Crackhead system, try to have some fun with it as it stands. I’m sort of leaning towards a star system.
