If it was up to me I would put restrictions on who could vote or make it so, even if there are flaws with this system also, things like reputation, post count, and time on the board factored in significantly somehow to a large degree with how much somebody's vote counted. That way somebody like Tunsty or BlueBalls, for example, votes would count dramatically more than some newbie with hardly any posts that just came on here to vote and went somewhere else. Some people might not like it, and it might be sort of elitist in a way, but this is supposed to be a "FreeOnes competition" to name the people that are going to be "Miss FreeOnes" so having the people that represent this board the most play a big part of that doesn't bother me. I would also make it so that instead of stages of voting there was only one vote or ballot that people could make. You could name up to ten people at once in order where somebody should be ranked and the higher the rank the more points that person got from you. For example the #1 person would get 10 points while the number 10 person would get one, and what you gave everybody would be adjusted by the factors above. That way a vote wouldn't have to be all or nothing either, and the whole process could go quicker.
