Feature Request Voting Drop Off

Post by Rickliftig » Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:50 pm

Jordan/Nathan -

I notice a drop off in the number of votes for feature requests over 500. Could it be that the relatively small number of voters have used up their votes? I know I have and there are several more worthy features that I would like to promote. Could you award some TARP relief votes to the masses?

Thanks!

Well, you'll just have to be strategic. One way is to try to guess which of your favorite features that we might agree are important. You would then put all 100 votes on that one feature. An alternate strategy is to spread your existing votes thinner to truly represent your weighted opinion. And, of course, you can combine those strategies. With 100 votes, you can vote for 100 features, which is plenty. Increasing the votes allowed would give people hope and make them feel good (hmm, sounds like the current political situation), but it would dilute the value of the votes and would end up not increasing your voting power one bit.

If we paid for 3 supports would we get 300 votes? :D
