As stated in the nomination thread (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90574&page=1&pp=15) I said that we'd soon be voting on qualified candidates for Authorized Vendor of the Year, who would receive 6 months of free AV status. Said qualified candidates are the following:

-Mental Addiction Motorsports
-Automotive R&D
-Kartboy
-Modern Performance Inc (MPNick)
-SPD Racing

Again, THIS IS NOT a thread to praise or bash vendors in! Please just vote based on your experience with the vendors.

You will notice that for every vendor listed in the vote, there is also an "Anti" of each vendor. Using your single vote, you could either vote for your favorite vendor, or vote against a vendor by voting the "anti" option of that vendor, in case, for instance, you had a very bad experience with said vendor.

To illustrate how it works, let's pretend for simplicity that there's 3 nominees...you could either for for vendor A, B, or C....OR if for example, you had a problem with a vendor, you could vote "Anti A, Anti B, Anti C". So in this scenario there would be 6 voting options total:

A
B
C
Anti A
Anti B
Anti C

When it's all said and done, we subtract the "anti" votes from their scores...

Final A = A - Anti A
Final B = B - Anti B
Final C = C - Anti C

So for example, if Vendor A had 500 votes and 3 Anti Votes, their final score would be 497.

Obviously, the vendor with the highest score wins. Let the voting begin. :)
 
That's why I said that "THIS IS NOT a thread to praise or bash vendors in!". Vote on your opinion, and that's that. If company XYZ is on the above list, and they screwed you over before, then vote against them if it makes you sleep better at night.

Let's not invent problems. This is meant to be a good thing.
 
FYI...we do a lot more install, service and custom fab that parts sales- chris @ spd
 
the anti thing is going to give people who dont give a s*** a chance to just bring down whatever the top company will be just because they can... Im not inventing problems, it will happen.

and I voted MAM

Then they waste their vote. I just wanted to include some kind of check and balance. If 90% of the community thinks company XYZ is great, but 10% of the community really got screwed over by them, I want this to reflect that.
 
the problem is, how is that checking balance when people who don't give two s**** or even have experience through the vendor vote negatively??
 
also, people can create new screen names and then vote again, rather it be negative or positive...can anyone see who is voting?

Well, if they didn't have the option, then they could have voted for #2 so that #2 surpassed #1. It would still hurt #1 the same either way. This way lets them focus on who may have screwed them over, rather than spreading out positive votes for other people, which could be unwarranted.

Example: How many people voted for Kerry to spite Bush, even though they may not have liked Kerry? Ditto for the reverse. With the anti system, you could vote against Kerry or Bush, without actually voting FOR one of them.

But again, I like to give people more options.

Don't worry about that, I've got it covered.
 
maybe for people who vote anti they should explain their "bad experience" or their anti vote becomes void? i dunno, just don't want to see this good idea ruined...
 
Theres only 2 anti votes. Maybe we should cross this bridge when we get there. It doesn't appear to be abused so far.

I voted SPD. They rock.
 
ok and what was the purpose of the 2 anti votes? that's all im saying, imo we should decipher whether the "anti" posts are legitimate or not, but hey it's not my thread so i guess it doesn't matter...
 
yeah, I kinda think the Anti votes (atleast without explaination) are kinda ghey...

I know Beau very well, and I know for a fact he quickly corrects any mistake or problem that is his fault at his expense. I'm thinking there is a little envy/ tired of hearing about how great Beau is, going on here.

but who knows... MAM with anti votes is kinda funny to me, thats all.
