Waiting for a winter to be done.

In all that I could never overcome?

This is a great idea and all, but, how are you going to keep oder of the tallies, especially since you added a new rule half-way through? How are you going to know if a user has duplicated their own votes or not? Are you going to sift through the thread constantly? Or is it all computerized

I have privite list off this site that is alphabetical, in which I keep the titiles of all the books that have been nominated. And I keep the number of voites the book has right after the titile.This is a great idea and all, but, how are you going to keep oder of the tallies, especially since you added a new rule half-way through? How are you going to know if a user has duplicated their own votes or not? Are you going to sift through the thread constantly? Or is it all computerized
If I think a user is duplicating nominations, I can go back to find thier original votes here.
