Sorry for double post...but I feel the issue I have right now deserves a new post.

I feel we should have a post count limit to who can vote. I am sure with certain well known H3Fers submitting their intros here there will be amounts of H3F members coming here, making an account, posting a couple times in each round that H3Fer is in, and in the end possibly stealing 1st place from someone else who deserves it (if a member here makes a much more talented one, but gets shafted) Once the contest is over, they are never seen again. I brought this up because I saw steam post his over at H3F, and having multiple people say "I'm going to vote for yours when the contest starts." The one at H3F kinda turned into a popularity contest near the beginning, and I don't want that to happen here.

What I am suggesting is having a post count limit to vote...perhaps 50 or 100 posts at least? That way, if these people are truly committed to voting for their favorite, they would have to look around this community a bit to get their post count to that level before they had the chance to vote. In turn, it may even keep a few of those people around here.

Good idea? Bad idea?
