once?  If someone is so pitiful that they have to stuff the ballot box in
order to win so they can feel their creation is the "coolest" that week,
maybe we SHOULD let them multi-vote and get it out of their system.  Then we
could introduce a new rule:  Once voted CLSOTW, you can't have another
selection for a specified period of time (6 months?).

I know restricting to LUGNET members would eliminate all the "lurkers" (like
me) out there, so that's probably not the best solution.  I just don't know
what is...

The best solution would be to have lurkers and members of Lugnet
independently sign up for their own voting account (or similar
registration). It would give more credibility to the systems and lessen the
chance of botched results.
I'm surethere are other ways to do this, I just need time to think on that.

Cool!  A shared administrative task.  That is probably do-able, with a POP
e-mail account and the correct settings in Eudora to leave the e-mails on
the server.  That way we could have multiple independent vote-counting.

Anyway, I hope this discussion can get a regular Cool Lego Site feature up soon!

Same here. I set up a post earlier about the topic, and I found out that
several people on Lugnet (I don't know whether they're ADMINS or not) are
working feverously on this task as we speak. So, we should see the CLSOTW
come into play in the near future (as soon as a few other issues on Lugnet
are settled, I don't think CLSOTW is on top of the ADMINS "to do" list)

Just my two brickz!

I'm open to more discussion on this topic, as is. Seems this needs a
lot of discussion since few are willing to discuss it.
