Solution to the voting problem

    Every time a user loads a simulation, it adds one to the votes.
    Each user can load a simulation as many times as they like (The reload button does not count as a vote)
    This would mean that only the saves which get a lot of views will be high in the voting ranks.

    I can't see a flaw in this idea, can you?

    i can see a slight flaw...
    user open sim
    user goes back to menu
    user opens same sim ect.

    perhaps have it on a time system for each user, eg. 30 mins?
    otherwise +1

    The simulations at the top though will be getting hundereds of views though, so it kinda cancels it out. But yeah, perhaps a time restriction would further benefit the system.

    What if I open a sim and don't like it.

    That's the flaw.

    You failed. Get over it. (sorry for being harsh, but it's true!)

    How about if we make it so you CAN'T vote down, you can just choose not to vote up?

    There isn't really a voting problem.
    If I don't like the save, What do I do?
    There won't ever be vote downs. Voting Down is a sign of improvement.
