So is it just 25% of the score is comments and the other 75% is chosen by you? or does number of upvotes or value of the upvotes make a difference? just the number of comments?
It is just the number of comments. I wanted popular vote to be taken into account a bit but not too much that other lesser known artists didn't have a chance. Assuming each rule has been followed, each submission gets scored in 4 categories. Creativity, Originality, Quality, Popularity. All categories are scored out of 5 by me, and often times I also use at least one other set of eyes. The scores are then added together from all 4 categories and averaged to find a score out of 5. That is the winner.
I like it! Thank you very much for the explanation! That definitely sums it up. I couldn't find anything like that in the original post. Did I just miss it?
In the original post for submissions, it mentions the 25% of scoring for popularity and that it is also scored on Creativity, Originality, and Quality. I may start to edit it to include what I said above anyways. I do all my scoring on a spreadsheet too so it is all nice and tidy :)
Yeah, talk a little about the point system you are using and what not, basically what you posted above. It answered all of my questions. It wasn't that the info wasn't there, I had just missed it. My mistake. Thanks again for the clarification! Great contest! Feel free to check out my blog, I do a daily bounty to support new introduceyourself posts, and I am planning another engagement contest really soon. The last one was a huge success. Happy Steeming!
also, I gave a small upvote to your "vote for" comments, just to try to help keep them above other comments on the post, so people could find the one they wanted to vote for at the top of the comment feed.
Wonderful! Thank you, that is a great idea and I appreciate it. I do not like upvoting my own comments which is why I didn't do so, but thank you for doing that.
