Complaint
The Administrators have received some complaints saying that members are not getting a chance to vote.
Each vote ends once 15 votes are in. So to those who missed out in the past the answer is vote early or you will be disappointed. When we used to wait for everyone to vote it made the blog too slow, this is why we do it this way.
