Just my two cents worth.

How about using a random generator such as the http://www.random.org/integers/ to pick the winners from the selected posts.

Using a month's worth of 'thanking' to determine the winners, rather than just to produce a shortlist, ensures you get a wider view.

Isn't that how it currently works?
I think what Mel means is explained by the following example:
5 people vote for a post. 4 of them have 100 shares and 1 of them has 5000 shares. The total shares (for the purpose of potm) would be (4+1)*(100+100+100+100+5000) = 5 *5400 = 27000

Am I right, Mel?
Correct. :clap: I knew I could rely on Richard to understand. :thumbup:

Simple solution: everyone should earn more shares, so that they can compete with Bruce :lol:

How about using the thanks system like now to generate a shortlist of maybe half a dozen posts, then using a simple poll to pick the winners?
