I just took a peek at the all time best in the gallery

http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-search.jsp?sort1=5

Most of them are WIP models with 1 vote (obviously a 10/10). But if you don't figure that out then it looks like this



Is dakka's best model.

I know the problem of wanting models to be rated even before they get to 5 voties (let's face it 90% of the gallery will never get to 5 votes) but this is silly. The best models this week/month/all time should require 5 votes.

A suggestion, on the gallery keep the right side as top 10 of the week, but make the left side a rotating gallery of 'noteworthy models'. Let registers members nominate 1 'noteworthy model' a day (so they can't spam it). That way some models can get expose without people giving them 10/10 votes just to land on the front page.

it is annoying, but low vote, high rated images are pushed right to the top of the random vote queue, so they are very quickly stripped out of the top images list by other users (and then get penalised for trollish voting).

Many of those types of images can have voting outright disabled too (and that is a power we will grant to you Mr Kyoto very soon).

Breathless with anticipation.

Vocal with jealousy.



I may not vote in my own country where it is compulsory, but I have voted on over 3% of the Dakka gallery... which is something...

You are the 9th biggest voter Arctik. You and many others are definitely on our radar for any future gallery powers, but for now we will be testing things out with just one user.
