I brought up a long time ago the voting on these awards is just as bad as the United States election process. It's Member Choice Awards, I think you should have to have at least 30 legitimate posts before you can vote. Not, sign up to vote then leave Awards. |
I closely audit the polls every year and new signups have never completely swayed a poll. Every member is welcome to vote, as it should be. Hopefully some of those that signup specifically to vote in the polls will remain as active members of the LQ community long after the polls are open.

Maybe you are asking for a Old member Choice Awards :D:D:D |

From my perspective you're an exception to a rule/a pattern that I see. A huge influx of new members who come here to vote for firebird, as if some aficionado mentions on some other forum or IRC channel that there's a members choice going on at LQ, and "all hell breaks loose" in terms new members voting for their RDBMS of choice, never to be seen again (in most cases). And coming back to the political take on it: here only "permanent residents" can vote, and to become permanent you have to have been here for a minimum amount of time, and I find that VERY sensible. I think we should ask Jeremy to introduce a rule that only people who have been members for more than 3 months or had more than 100 posts are allowed to vote ;} Cheers, Tink |
-Use Firebird SQL Server, if you have the luxury to choose among many database systems.
-If you want to deal with the COMPLEXITY, try PostgreSQL Server. -MySQL is trying to become a “proper” database system on VERSION 5 -If you fancy a POSH database system, try Oracle. -If you are walking on the road, bricks of which are laid by Microsoft, I need not say anything; you are already using M$ SQL Server 200x. My vote goes to Firebird! |

I think it's the rule, and not the exception. I don't know the pattern here, but I'm sure people come and go not only because the awards, but all the time. If you see it from the other side of the coin, some people will remain, and the community will be growing. If the site is not interested on that, I really can't figure out why the site let the users to register and vote. Quote:
But, as devoted user of Firebird, if the next year I know about a new contest at (to say something) databasepolls.com, and I find that I have the chance to express my opinion, and vote, I will to that. It's the choice of the site, and if they allow that, I'm doing the things well, even when maybe I never go back to the site to contribute in any way. Cheers, |
