Pattern uploads: let users vote for which are featured on the site?

Crumpet 5/13/2012 01:37 am 4205

Our current system of approving patterns causes a lot of good patterns to be missed and never put on the site, as I'm sure many of you have noticed (when your own patterns weren't approved) 2.gif If I set up a page where you the users could vote on all the appropriate uploaded patterns to choose which are published onto the main site, would any of you bother to vote? I'd make it so you could vote on many from one page.

I'll add some promotion for that page soon so people can actually find it, lol.

I think this is a really cool idea. I believe people will enjoy that feature if it were to happen.

So far I totally love this idea. Though it is still in its infant stages I look forward to seeing how it develops and helps the site develop.

Yeah, it's going well so far. There are a lot of patterns getting through which probably wouldn't have otherwise. I've been surprised by some of the patterns which people have voted up. There is at least one problem with this method though: high-quality patterns that are of less popular things don't get as many votes. So in cases like that I think the votes have to be overruled. Otherwise we will only ever have patterns of popular things.

yes, yes 1,000 times yes!!! we all need an equal opportunity to vote for the patterns to be showcased on this website. (I know that sounded pretty cheezy, but hey...it's something...) thumbs up
