How about a button that assigns a random score from 1-10 instead of having to think about what vote to give someone.

This could be useful in challenges that you don't have time to vote on.
And will also be good for those pictures that you can't quite make up your mind with..."hmmm, this picture is good, but does it deserve a 6 or a 7, maybe I'll press the random button and let the DPC Gods decide!"
That picture could then get a nice surprise and be voted a 9 or something.
I know I'd be happy with getting a 9 instead of a 6!!!!!

Just a thought :-)

Hmmm....
Wouldn't that sort of undermine the 20% rule's purpose of preventing cherry-picking?

This is a great idea. Maybe we could even program in some other spyware detection function such as polling the voter's computer to see if they are in troll mode and then filter out their vote. Other ideas include multiplying the vote by the ratio of the voter's average vote received to average vote cast.

Actually I have created a new site for me to post my challenge entries. I get 100% view/vote ratio and the vote is ususally quite fair and honest. I have also placed 1st in every challenge. I'm sure I will becme bored with it soon, but so far it feels pretty good.

Isn't that the method some voters use anyway?
