Voting is now live, and Adam will soon post a thread explaining how the new voting works. Until then, this is all you need to know:
1) You need to register with the site, even if you are registered with the forums 2) You can only vote once a day per artist 3) Don't bother rating an artist negatively - we've done away with that. These are no longer ratings, but VOTES. You can vote one star, or 10, but it still has the same effect. HAVE FUN.
When Adam posts up the explanations, please share your ideas here.
PLEASE BE AWARE
Adam did not program the feature. It's ready bought software and what we can do it with it is limited. So be mindful that the basic structure of the voting cannot be altered (such as the ten stars when rating one or ten means the same thing.

Is the voting date sensitive, such that we can vote at any time during the day, or do we have to wait 24 hours before we can vote again for the same artist?

It must be 24 hours because it wouldn't let me vote this morning for the same two artists I voted for yesterday.
That's a guess. Lol.

Yep, just tested - I could vote for Siobhan again, so it must be 24 hours. x

I love the idea of limiting the voting to once a day! I hope it is successful and can be more easily monitored and managed. Fans wanted the voting again. I hope everyone excepts that it has to have limitations. Something is always better than nothing!

The idea was to protect our fragile server! We were getting up to 500,000 hits a month before with the old voting, and with our new shared server, we can't take that type of foot fall!
Not only that, I think it makes the voting a bit more fair. Some fans are more "obsessive" than others with their voting (I read some people were setting their alarms during the night for every two hours!), this way, it's more level.

I am sure if Adam could tell us stories of what fans resorted to in order to increase their favorite artists vote count, we would all be questioning sanity!

One person set up over 300 accounts. I wish I was exaggerating... They needed e-mail validation, so not only did they set up 300 accounts here, they set up 300 e-mail addresses. They did this despite us deleting the accounts as they went.
We deleted all their votes.
Pointless exercise guys, pointless exercise! XD

Plus - it was for Jackie Evancho's sake. I wouldn't describe her voting situation as desperate, would you? Wasn't exactly at the bottom of the pile, was she?
