MOTM for March 2010

[mikey1991]

Easy forms, though it'd be nice if there was at least one vB3 mod here.

I will vote for Vsa just because Floris did not, with his one vote making the upper dog the under dog and with my one vote the balance should be restored making the under (prev upper) dog the upper dog again,

Wow, I am so happy we had this talk!

VSa Chatbox is my vote, superb coder, superb mod.

yes - sounds quite unfair.

It doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the mod. They might be very good, or very bad. But quantity here wins. It's that simple. If not one, then the other .. or perhaps the other.

Especially if what you say, they are excellent job done well, .. you even increase guaranteed winning on one of them.

It's nothing personal against the mod author, I just think it should be a mod from one author, from 5 nominated ones. So everybody has a fair run at it.

So yes, I play unfair too, and vote for the underdog, without even looking at the mod.

Couple of points:

1) If this was true, the coders with the most mods would also have most MOTM's. Thats not even close to being the case.

2) The staff don't decide who is up for MOTM - members do by voting. This means only the best/most popular mods get nominated. Coders should be PRAISED for releasing so many good/popular mods a month, not punished!

3) Having 3 mods nominated probably reduces the chance of winning if people were voting for the coder, not the product, since the votes would be divided by 3, instead of them all going to the same mod.

4) You don't win MOTM for having most votes total, only ONE mod wins.

In short: One person having more than one mod nominated by the users just shows that person probably DESERVES to win, since they are producing consistently good stuff. There are modders who release TONS of mods every month, but get very few nominations, and even fewer wins =)

I say well done to Valter for producing so many good mods this month, and thanks to the other coders for also making great mods!

I do not know if this helps

But I got a bumper sticker that says I voted for F*** Y**

I have no idea the relevance to the thread, but I love drama as much as the next guy. Now where is that admin from da Moo cycle place and his side kick Poopi

Sorry, feels very unfair. I don't know any of the mods, but I voted for NOT vsa

The mod that gets the most votes will win.

Who wrote them is totally irrelevant. Its perfectly fair, unlike your vote.

So .......

Valter has released 52 mods across vb 4.0 and vb 3.8.

Paul M has released 52 mods across vb 4.0 and vb 3.8

According to your theory, we should be the only two appearing in the MOTM each month.

.... and yet, thats doesnt seem to be the case, perhaps I should complain its unfair.

[Floris]

Its perfectly fair, unlike your vote.

That is utter nonsense, because I am completely free to vote for whoever I want, for whatever reason. You can't make me vote at all, or tell me that there are rules preventing you to vote for the underdog.

If you guys find it perfectly fine that one author is listed 5 out of 5 times, in this case 3 out of 5, so be it. Not going to bother with that, not my site, not my rules.

But saying I can not vote for whatever reason I want, as unfair, you sir, are out of line.

Plus, your math is wrong, but that's ok.

Let's vote for the new president: obama, obama, obama, obama, christopher walken .. you're not allowed to vote for the underdog .. Which seems to be your math.

But hey: enjoy your winnings vsa, it's a guarantee! You already have 78 votes out of the 118 votes. You can take that to the bank.

It doesn't matter how many votes HE has, just how many his individual MODS have.

For instance, Coder a could have 4 out of the 5 mods, and get 750 of the 1000 votes cast for their mods.

However, if all of those mods get 190 or so votes each, and the 5th guys mod gets 250, person B wins.

Therfore having multiple mods nominated doesn't guarantee a win. It could be that the votes that would have went to you if only 1 of your mods is nominated, instead get split BETWEEN your mods, and someone else wins =)

Also, I believe Paul called your vote unfair because it had nothing to do with how good the mods were, instead you just voted for the person who created it...

Which, unless i'm mistaken, is what you're complaining about o.O
