As someone who works really hard on my event entries I'm really saddened to hear this, I've put in my votes again.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great creative users here, but I feel like it's always been a popularity contest to some extent.That's really sad for everybody. I thought some people might vote for their friends but not to that point.
I'm also for the multi-vote idea, like our top 3 or something like that, I always have more than one top favorite and it was hard to remember for whom I had voted finally
Strongly agree! Ofcourse I don't mind not winning or not making it to the top, and people vote for many different reasons and art is subjective and everything, but I felt it was kinda stressful as wellBeing nominated for staff favourites and making it to community polls is only something that has been happening to me this past year, so I’m probably not the best person to speak on this, but vote amounts being visible can be stressful for me, and I imagine I’m not alone in that. Even when I’m nowhere near the top 3/5, I still feel compelled to check how my entries are doing a couple times a day, and it can be a little stressful and even disheartening at times. I think hiding the vote amounts could help alleviate some of that stress and pressure for not just me, but others as well.

Blink. I'm always jelly of your art. You can toot out something magical like that myrrh and I still worship it. (I know it wasn't a toot-- you've got years and buckets of sweat and tears in the art endeavor). I even worked extra to trade away the myrrh prompt and I am just so amazed at what you pulled off.it's a shame we have to wait longer for results, it's a step in the right direction that results are hidden!
now we can get it outta sight outta mind for most of the polls.
we all put in effort differently and as efficiently as we can. so it's nice to not be able to see who thought so, too.
less strain in the brain
also yes to polls being hidden from now on,
I don't interact enough on this site as it is, yet I am disheartened and surprised by people being vocal about their jealousy (bribes, vote manipulation, PMs, and venting about how others are salty about other nominees)
