Voting Etiquette
This is something that has caused a few disagreements here in the Ditto office. What is the etiquette that should be considered when voting on lists or should we just all just do as we feel?
Take the Best John Woo films list for example, I feel perfectly happy voting for
In that order and voting Hard Target down.
My intent is to say that the first four are good examples of John Woo and the latter is not. Hopefully this might help someone new to John Woo to find the best of his films.
The debate comes with a list like The Greatest Ever Flight Sim. I know jack all about flight sims, but I do know some that I enjoyed, so I added them and voted them up. These could well look like a recommendation to someone looking for a flight sim to buy. Trouble is they would be foolish because like I said I know nothing about flight sims. So what does one do? Only vote on lists where you know a fair bit about the topic?
OK, so here is another question, take the list Best albums of the 80s, I love Guns n’ Roses and am a big Appetite fan so consider it a disgrace (ok bit melodramatic, but I have been called a drama queen before) that Michael Jackson is currently knocking Appetite off first place. So what do I do? I could just go in vote everything in the top 20 down to help Appetite? Is that wrong, WDYT?
We are not suggesting a voting rule book here I am just wondering what you guys think.
As Deeloren would say Rock on!

That’s a tough one. I think if you have not played it, watched it or heard it you should not vote it, either way.
That makes voting on Sexiest Holywood Actress list
difficult. If I bear in mind my earlier rule I guess I will only be able to vote on Cameron Diaz as she is the only one I have played
