I also think it would actually be quite hard to rig the vote - not sure how you would even do that outside of a lot of socks and I hope it would be quite obvious if that happened and easy to fix and award the rightful winner? Maybe my faith in the community is too high, but I'd like to think there would be very little rigging/that it wouldn't work anyway | |

| Jan 27 at 19:45 | comment | added | Beastly Gerbil | @GentlePurpleRain haha, I think outside of advent this was the easy one, so swooped in quick :P I agree with that only concern, but I'd hope with something more on the line we'd get a couple more submissions/votes. At the moment there's not a huge amount of incentive, but I'd hope that there would be enough people were if this went through that if someone saw that there was for instance only one answer which was clearly underserving, people would find and submit deserving puzzles and vote on them. Could be good to get the engagement up! | |
| Jan 27 at 19:42 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | The only concern I would have with this one is that sometimes the quarterly posts don't have many entries or many votes, which might cause mediochre puzzles to get a badge they don't deserve...? On the other hand, having a badge like this might draw a lot more attention to the quarterly posts, so... | |
| Jan 27 at 19:40 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | I was going to post the same idea, then saw that there was a new answer, and apparently "great minds think alike"! | |
