Minti Voting Sprees

thanks for this,I'm still new to all this and this is very helpful

Thank you for that

clearly informs what is not accepted

great explaination. i do try and vote and read and reply to all advice writen by everyone, but some days i just dont have time to do it.

i will remember this as sometimes i do go to a members page bring all their advice up and read and vote.

Very true words,

I am over the rigged type system some members see fit to employ, that was not why I originally joined this site, I simply wanted advice and support, and people to talk to about things. I have enjoyed it, but seeing the attacks etc sours it. Pity, this site has real value. Oh well, I'm still here hey?

Thanx Clay for timely reminders about issues like these.

Ooops i did this the other day,just going through the ones that needed votes. i did read them all first. just read what caught my eye, had nothing to do with who wrote them. Hadn't read this one before now, so i'll keep it in mind for the future.

What happens when you're doing the random photo votes right, and the same members photo's come like 5 in a row, but you're picking random photo's from above the photo's? What do you do then? Do you still vote on them, or skip them? SOrry, i'm just a little confused on that one. It's happened to me a few times with a certain member, and i certainly don't want this member to feel victimised etc, and i know it's not a nice feeling etc. Thanks in advance

I think it runs both ways lillkatheryn, going and say I look through all of your articles and vote them, without even looking at the article itself, just because you might be a friend.... If I interpreted correctly

just one question, is the voting spree for like the negative voting?  What if I have read several, and then, cause i like them, vote them all good?  would that be just as bad?  Though I have never done that before.....I'm to slow a reader...

It is a shame that articles like this appear to be necessary. However, I would like to comment on the definition of a voting spree when as "someone votes on a particular member's articles in quick succession" and the suggestion that "people should just vote on an article once they have finished reading it". I guess we all read the articles differently. Sometimes I read a really interestng article from a member, and then I look for other articles written by that member. In addition, I am a speed reader. While I don't always vote (and I tend to encourage members by voting positively when I do). Other times, I rsearch through the articles by topic. I fail to understand this voting "conundrum" (and the time devoted to it) and really urge members to counter this by using Minti as the forum it was intended to be.

Thanks. That was a great help.

Cheers Dee.

Great article and reminder. It is getting a bit heated isn't it, and glad you're aware of it.

Hi Clay, thanks for info. Just a thought from when I first started voting on advice.

...when I was new and not sure if the vote I cast has been counted, as the stars may be gold to show previous votes, perhaps you could explain how the stars turn green to show the vote you cast by waiting a second, but if you click rapidly or double click, this too could be a vote spree.  Just a concern for members when you set up your vote monitor, I'm glad to read there will be a warning e-mail sent....seems much more fair as the person has a chance to explain.

Sometimes I have re-read articles, and by way of what I have received give a second vote, I will be sure not to do this in the future....perhaps just an e-mail to the person writing of how their advice/post was helpful...a second time around :o) there are so many here to read!

Take care, Simba1

I don't think there was anything confusing about it all, this makes it totally clear now.  The best time to vote is after reading an article it only takes a second, i presume comments can be made later if needed?  Although i prefer to do it after i have read it then it is fresh in my head!!

Thanks matey,

I was a bit worried after having already received my warning in advance that I could end up getting deleted without fully understanding the limits.

This has cleared up a lot of questions I had.

Cheers, DA

thanks Clay as there has been a lot of this over the past few weeks i do hope that now that this is going to be happening that it will stop and minti will get back to normal

hugs and kisses

great article thanks for clearing this up
