Because I said I preferred having a voter there who was there because s/he wanted to vote and and not because s/he was forced to be there (as a condition of entering a challenge) does not make the same thing true in reverse (or by some fancy word phrasing to make it somehow sound as if mandatory voting creates mandatory challenge entry by proxy).

To give an analagy by your words, it would be like me saying I don't want all hamburgers served with onions on them because I don't want to be forced to eat an onion on my hamburger and then you reply with, "No one's forcing you to eat a hamburger." The discussion is about whether or not to make onions mandatory on all hamburgers, not whether or not eating hamburgers should be mandatory... :rollingmyeyes:

I wasn't trying to twist your words . . . I was suggesting that those who Enter should also be prepared to vote . . . as a condition of being able to enter.

Your opinion is that you feel that voters should be in no way obligated to vote . . . OK, I get it.

How do we achieve a minimum guaranteed voting participation without making it mandatory in some form or another ? giving prizes ? like the Tamron fiasco ?

What about making voting mandatory in some, but not all, challenges? (...and the host can decide if s/he wants his challenge to be mandatory voting or regular)

If the regular challenges continue in parallel, people don't have to feel forced to enter a mandatory voting challenge. Still, I think the new form of challenge would be popular: people who like to minimize the effect of sandbaggers and people who prefer to get back a somewhat more meaningful ranking ("popular vote") of their image would enter the mandatory voting challenges.

Do you think that could work?
