I can tell you authoritatively that this would be basterdized. I think @spotlight should have a quality guidline that would determine what makes a post qualify for votes... Most of enteries that get to the finals only get there not because of quality but how much the person can canverse for votes. This for me doesn't encourage quality. For example, why will someone sing along with a song and make that an entry? Who can't do a sing along and make that an entry? For me, that's not creative enough. The surprising thing is such person could win the contest, or even the one that cracked a virtually non communicative nor interesting joke. spotlight seems to be about just an entry inasmuch as you have the numbers to win on your side, no one cares if creative or not.
The truth is this voting pattern still doesn't stop the ones with just the numbers from getting things their way either they have quality or not. They have two voting slots and can easily vote for the candidate and do a -vote for the other.
