The Sims Wiki talk:Second Logo Contest

Votes Against
This is just a matter of procedure, but it really doesn't make sense to have a 'votes against' section, since the obvious way that a person can vote against something is by not voting for it at all. I've removed the vote against section from the page. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 15:30, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Voting for yourself
Can you vote for your own logo? --Norman Average 19:29, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say no... there's no point in voting for your own logo, since everyone would then conceivably vote for their own. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:19, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Anons.
Though most Wikis don't allow it, should anons (users without accounts and are editing as an IP) be allowed to vote? GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 19:32, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Our voting rules specifically prohibit that, and this in my opinion is considered an official vote, meaning that we should adhere to the voting rules. Additionally, it's absolutely not difficult for an anon user to register for an account, so there's no reason why they shouldn't have to register first. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 16:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it will also stop users from voting with their IP addresses to sway community consensus in their favour (aka vote stacking). GEORGIE  GIBBONS   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  18:36, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Redo
I'm not necessarily suggesting this because I favor any logo over another, but I think we should remove all the currently-cast votes and restart this contest. My reasoning is that if we allow voting while ideas are being submitted, new ideas will have less of a chance of winning, even if they are 'better' than older suggestions. I'd propose that we remove all votes and prevent new votes from being cast until the next month, and allow logo submissions up until then. Thoughts? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:21, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Has this contest finished?
I've noticed this contest started a few months ago, and no votes have been cast for some time as well as there being no confusion which logo is in the lead. Should this contest be closed, or will there be decided an official date of which it ends? -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 03:17, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'd say it should be closed seeing as the current logo had recieved the most votes. 09:04, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would recommend that this contest finishes soon, as nothing is happening with it. On the IRC many of the members agreed to it ending tomorrow, is that okay? -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 19:51, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
