I meant we are interested in the change of CH ratings, and thus must look for the change in probabilites...

This is where you fellow Milovanians come in. Can any of you come up with a better way to nominate teases for TOTM/FTOTM that doesn't involve software?

Wyatt

Have a tease nomination round.

5 teases are entered into the TOTM competition as usual.
3 additional teases get into the TOTM competition by Milovana member nomination; so finally the TOTM competition will have 8 teases.

To get these 3 teases do the following:
1. Create a thread indicating the 5 teases which are automatically getting in by the ratings process.
2. In that thread ask for nominations from members (thread stays open for one week). Only members with 25+ posts can nominate. Any numbers of nominations allowed per user. Tease creators cannot nominate their own teases.
3. At the end of the week, take the three teases with the most number of nominations.
If there is a tie, also include the tie candidates.
4. Create final TOTM thread with the 8 canditates (more in case of ties).

This way, the input of all the users (milovana members or not) gets counted throught the 5 automatic candidates. Also, if some exceptional teases have been attacked, or felt to have been attacked, the community can explicityly nominate them.
