Limiting how many times a person gets a Front Page

Limiting how many times a person gets a Front Page

A Proposal to limiting how many times a single artist may get Front Page:

Dear Sheezy Artists:

Lets face the facts: We have some very wonderful and VERY TALENTED artists here at Sheezy Art and by all means they deserve they're front pages as much as anybody. But there are some artists here that are SO popular, they can paint a dot on a paper and it will get faved into front page. There are also some artists out there that make multiple accounts to spam "No's" to some pieces and then "Yes" to they're own or they're friends JUST to see they're own works on Front Page (ridiculous, yes, but they exist!)

I believe one of the more finer, important parts of the Front Page showcase was to help ALL artists get seen. Not just the ones with a greater majority of watchers.

So I propose this! How about a cap on how many times an artist can get a Front Page in a day or a week or a month (we can hammer out the details later). Some artists are very popular already, and I don't believe they need to have a front page every time they submit an artwork because if they are hitting frontpage every day, they evidently already have a LOT of people watching them and their works will spread and be seen regardless. But some artists have very good work, and struggle so much just to be *barely* nudged out of Front Page by a more popular artists who has already been featured on Front Page MANY times before and happens to have more watchers.

This will not only help less popular artists get seen, but may actually help prevent (YES PREVENT) those artists out there that make multiple accounts just to fave they're own works. This may even discourage the masses of artists out there that vote down other worthy submissions to again, see they're own works on front page instead.

An Example: If an artist has gotten, say, three of their works onto front page in one month, then perhaps there can be a system in place to prevent them from reaching front page again for that month, and then this will reset the next month, and so on. Eventually, all the really popular artists will be capped from reaching front page, and will set the stage for some other, less popular and less seen, artists to taste a moment in a spotlight they have work hard for.

This may truly help fine tune so many things on Front Page and some problems with the Yes/No system we may be seeing, and I would be so enamored with the Sheezy Cast if they could pull this trick off in the coding (because I know this is easier said than done, indeed). This may even help in the Fanart Vs. Original controversy in some ways!


Please, if you agree with this idea, submit your own ideas! Let's siscuss them, and send them along to your friends to see if we can help revolutionize the Front Page to be a better place for ALL Sheezy Artists (not just the populars, not just the fanartits, and not just the original artists, but ALL artists)

Thank you for your time!
