I don't think it's fair to give less voting power to newbies.(posted 9497 days ago)However, I think that people who voted and didn't play any games, or only 1 game or so, should have a lot less voting power next time. After all, it can affect the outcome of a tournament. Theoretically, it is possible to end up with a tournament in which none of the games were actually voted for by any of its participants. When going through the votes for T2, I noticed that there are quite a few people who voted but never showed up. When voting for a tournament it is very likely that the games that will be selected are not all to your liking. If you can't deal with that, then don't vote in the first place. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I think it doesn't display good sportsmanship to first vote and then not play when you don't like the outcome. And just like in lots of other events, making a commitment and then not following up on it should be penalised.
And I think it's a bit strange that someone who didn't even come close to finishing T1 and "don't" look like coming even close to finishing T2 is so concerned about the voting rules for the next tournament... . But then again, he'll complain about everything...
