How about grading all the pictures in a challenge from 1st to 300th (for example)?
The picture that you ranked 1st would get one point and the picture you ranked 300th would get 300 points (obviously).
The winning photo is the one with the lowest score from everyone.
This would stop me from having 5 pictures each tied for 1st place, each with a score of 10; and 20 photos tied for 2nd place all with a vote of 9 (again, examples).
I know there are some logistics to iron out (and it’s not like this idea will ever take effect anyway)
For example how would the 20% rule effect the voting?
Would all 300 pictures have to be voted on in order for it to count?
And how would you be able to place the 300 images in the order that you want?
I’m just home from work today and bored!!!
I just thought of this method when reading the threads about the juried challenges and how juries rank the images from first to last.
I’ll go back to being bored now!!!!

There's a certain "illusion of precision" that would append to this approach, but it would be fallacious. Can you IMAGINE the investment of time it would take on the part of every voter to do this right? Absolutely inconceivable...

I agree, but I was bored.

I know; there could be 300 slots along side the thumbnails and you can drag and drop them into the slots?
If I liked the first image a lot, I would slide it into the first slot.
If I then liked the second image better, I would then slide that into first place and the image that was there would then drop to second place.
A domino effect would be happening throughout the whole "slottage" area!!!

Well, the only way THAT would work would be if each "slot" filled with its appropriate thumbnail, and this takes up a LOT of screen real estate, so.... It's sort of cumbersome, jejejeâ„¢

what if you liked 2 images equality.
someone would get the raw end of the deal then... |

Also your method wouldn't reflect the 'quality' of the challenge. The average vote cast would always be the same, a blue ribbon would always have the same score, not reflecting the vote it would otherwise have got.

Well I wouldn't mind seeing a simple variation of this:
I pick the top 10, in order.
On our stats page for the photo, you get a histogram showing the number of people who picked you for the top 10 slots.
Gives you a good idea if at least some people thought your shot should be in the top 10, no matter what your score.
One reason I say this is that I almost never have time to vote on the entire challenge anymore. But I would be interested in going through and picking what I thought were the top 10. That may be true of others as well.
But it could be a pain to implement. One simple idea: you could just put an extra pulldown edit box on the voting screen, "place in challenge:", where you could pick 1 through 10, and where numbers were removed as you voted them!

Personally after being a member for over a year and a half I have come to terms that the voting method we have is (feasibly) the best. I’m not saying that there could be others ways that would be better but the time and effort, not to mention having three years of voting one way and then changing, it would be a nightmare.
I do feel a better use of terms would probably make voting easier and help the photographer accept a lower vote with more understanding than we do now. We currently have the 1-10 scale and what I don’t like about it is the terminology before the one and after the ten, (bad – good).
I would like the bad – good replaced with:
(Non-appealing) 12345678910 (Very appealing)
Since when we vote on how the picture appeals to us. We may think the picture is non-appealing but in fact it’s a good photograph and vica versa.
And while we’re on the subject of terminology I would like to see “Recommend this photograph for disqualification” replaced with “Recommend this photograph for validation”.
Just my 2 cents.
