Critique of the Front Page - Vote Inflation Issue

[quote=JunSupport]I'd still prefer if there were a vote limit to really emphasize that only rookies are on there. Only you have 60~100 votes, you're pretty set as a guide usually. 7 days might cycle it a bit too quickly. Some guides don't get on there until they're 2~3 weeks old. Because of lack of voters :/ Only the really popular ones can make it on there fast to soak up some lime light.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]And why do Chemists call Helium, Curium, and Barium the medical elements? o3o[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]COZ IF U CANT HELIUM OR CURIUM, YOU BARIUM :D[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]vote inflation my ass. I got to 1st place of the new builds yesterday, I got 4 downvotes in less than a day. Dropped from almost 89% to 86% = / I ended up upvoting the allistar guide so I won't be at the front any more. I was happy for my guide being at the top, now I regret it.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Yea, it tends to attract a lot of bad attention too, good yes but bad too, since trolls go looking to hurt the guides doing well. Don't get me wrong, it gets it noticed and gets +1s too, but still......it is pretty balanced this way, IMO.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@wRAthoFVuLK: It's balanced for the lower guides that show up. But the top guides get amazingly reinforced ratings. Top guides getting 200+ positive votes consistently just because they were lucky enough to reach #1 isn't balanced in my opinion.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]From what I've seen only guides that aren't very specific will get sheep votes. After Jebus' guide disappeared from the front page the rest of the guides were in between 87% and 88%. After that whenever a guide would get to the top it would get massive downvotes, making them drop in the rank and have someone else at the top. As soon as that guide got at the top it would then also get plenty of downvotes, and this cycle would repeat. I actually ended up upvoting all other guides so I would not get to the top, but unfortunately it would eventually be my turn again, and the guides would drop even further down. The guides which used to be at 88% are now at 84%, if at all. Being at the top shows the guide to people who are not looking for it. Chances are that a great part of those viewers won't like a guide that shows how to play a champ this one or the other, just because they don't. If I had been given the option to remove my guide from the front page I would have done it long ago. People don't seem to like Janna as support because they don't feel useful. That or I'm just a big a-hole when commenting other guides.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Canoas: So either way, a vote-limit would have helped. :P Non-specific guide lets sheep votes -> Booted off before it hits 100+ Good guide -> Booted off before it hits #1 and gets too many downvotes[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]I'm so stupid.. I completely forgot there was a way to get out of the front page: archive guide. You can archive the guide until a month has passed and it no longer meets the requirements to be on the front page = / I wish I had thought of this before.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Canoas: GG. Was wondering why you didn't do that. Though most people don't think that far ahead regarding the front page.[/quote]
