Hey McG - We aren't allowed to vote for ourselves are we?
It isn't very ethical to vote for one's self.
If you were writing at a site with mostly very poor writers, it could be possible that the other subs were actually abysmal and one's own was the best of the possibilities. Such is not the case here.
Slytherins greed would have them vote for their own, Hufflepuffs’ sense of caring would have them vote for anyone but their own, Gryffindors honour and Ravenclaw's acuity would have them vote for the best possible choice. I would hope you wear Red and Gold or Blue and Bronze, but it is your integrity you are showing to the world.
Agrippa created the voting booths to block people from voting for themselves…. and cheating. However, those booths have some intricate coding and during the summer duel an unethical person went through and intentionally skewed the numbers. None of Staff could figure out how to remove the bogus votes without crashing the voting for that whole Duel - and had to figure the scores out by hand (which is also up for mistakes and allegations of unfairness). So this time we went back to the Board's Poll System. It doesn't allow the constructive comments, and doesn't "rank" all the subs. It can't tell us a lot of things that would be nice to know.
No matter which we method we use, there are potential short comings.
Would you prefer a voting booth for Rounds 2 and 3? We could easily add it instead of the Poll. Let me or the Department of Mysteries know soon (sooner than that)!
