[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 300376, member: 3903"] Jake, I like your idea as much as I'd hate having to do it. I'll just speak for myself so if other mods want to input their feelings. I can only tell you that it's hard enough to get all moderators to cast their preference when the month ends that it would take years if we'd have to wait for comments as well. As you know (or should anyway), this moderation thing is a strictly voluntary work and as it is now with the volume of posts that appear everyday, I can't even go through the whole bunch. The way I try to make my selection, is first I make a count of likes and make a first selection of the entries that got the most "likes". Then I go through the images and make my own selection based only on my personal taste, then I wait for other mods to make their selections and then I compare the likes, make an average of other mods' selections and then publish the results. I think it would be very hard to ask every mod to explain their selections and then make a resume of all of them even if it would be just for the 5 selections. So, for me, this would be a very impractical thing to do. Now, as I understand that it could be a nice educational way to improve all participants, maybe we could (we will discuss it between us) have a parallel post where people could comment entries. We ask for the no comment thing only because it becomes just too darn tedious to go through every page post to be able to make a selection and we don't want to be influenced by the comments before casting our preference. So let's see what other mods would like to add and maybe we can go from there. So thanks for your suggestion, but for me, I'd just pass for now. [/QUOTE]
