There is one MASSIVE flaw in the 5 star rating system. If I submitted my video before the voting was online, I could get 50 votes of 4/5 stars and get like 4.7/5 in total. However, one person could submit there video a few days before the voting ends and vote themselves 5 stars. That means the late-submitter could win with one vote. Please rectify this :(

this is a consequence of the current voting system. as is the one-star ratings for everyone but your friend.

all I can say: deal with it.

rectifying this in any way would be equivalent to rigging the voting.

Rectification would be to simply not have submissions after voting commenced. Anyways, Joyman, you've just brought something to my attention. Alt accounts. _Distraction_ is your alt, Joyman, and I can bet a hundred dollars you went on and five-starred your video.

That is cheating and cheating has to have punishments.

Exactly. There either needs to be some sort of implementation to prevent it (Can't think of one that would possibly work), or admins should be able to see and remove players votes.

I think that there should be a new system. You get one vote. Anyone that hasn't uploaded there video by a certain time gets ignored. Simple. If you get your friends to vote for you, that's fine. What if your friends really like your vid?

What if your video is terrible and you get 5 friends to five-star yours, and 1 star everyone elses, it's unfair.

I don't think it was really considered as an entry, as it barely shows Craftland off at all. All you say about the features is that it has the Aether.

It is considered an entry because i submitted it. It is for the voters to decide whether they think it shows off craftland or not.
