I really don't mind leaving feedback for my first three. You normally have to leave feedback for two. Really happy with ranking all the stories and leaving feedback for three, which at least gives more feedback.

The other thing to do would be have a feedback post on the results, which you did, but make it more structured with each fic represented maybe? See I feel strongly that I want to stand by my comments negative or positive, so I'd happily leave open feedback.

The other thing I'd say is that if you decide to stick to the current system, I wonder whether on the voting poll you could make it quite strict and not accept votes that aren't constructive. I know WIAD used to operate like that. I know it's a bit of work for you as a mod, but having said that, it's quite easy to see when a review is just a bit horrid and not helpful.

Thanks for thinking about this Silver, because I think it's awful that anyone may have been hurt by thoughtless voting in something that should just be a bit of fun, and reviews don't need to say the story is bad, just why it didn't work for the person voting.

Also I do think the current system has an inherent problem, that is that you can get the most positive votes, and still potentially be voted out, or certainly not win, and that does bother me.
