Contest #19: Spriting Challenge

[YinYin]

woah woah
i am not keen on it - just asking

i was just thinking about seeing how some are deliberately not voting for a certain entry
if the votes are public i might just wait till last minute till i vote myself

in any case we cannot or should not force either public or anonymous votes as most will probably still want to post their decision etc
and for that i think a poll that only unlocks as public after one has voted would be best imo (not being able to see who voted for what before you voted yourself)
but thats not an option in this forum for all i know

oh oh... i see. This could mean, the sprites can be distinguished by votes too. If let's say the sprite is in a pretty low quality and not many or hardly any votes are to be casted for it, you can safely say that one of the voters might be the creator. This makes guessing much easier, also boring.

I did forget about the fact that the names are not visible on poll for a moment, that's why this possibility slipped my mind.
So this could also considered as plus-point for anonymous voting.

actually usually they are if you click the view results link - even if you have not voted yet
that way you can also think vice versa: a sprite with lots of votes - but one certain user has voted for many other sprites except for this one :p
haha


edit: anyway - i don't care much - i just wanted to know
