Brad, if you do the 3 star thing, please add in a clause to block out anyone with only 1 or 2 votes, or otherwise code in a mandatory waiting time from when their account is activated or something. That should largely stop abuse.

Dinosaurs had eggs bro, the chicken came way later.

Honestly I dig the whole undonors can vote idea. I have been here since March 27, 2005 and I know my name isn't big around the fourms but I just figured that I should say something because I am a undonor with 3+ stars who has been here awhile but really if I wasn't poor as shit I would be a donor.. But what I guess I'm trying to say is free stuff is awesome and I, speaking for all the undonors with 3+ stars who have been here awhile, would be so grateful to be able to vote. I dont know if my pointless post will change anything today or maybe not tommorrow but hopefully some day I will see my grandchildren vote on a comic making website without donating.

Thank You.

This is definitely a downside, I know some people take the star rating personally, so it could become more of an issue. Though if you've been rated by other members 10+ times and have a star rating of 3+, you'd likely need a few people to gang up on you to drop you below 3 stars.

From a programming standpoint, it'd be easier to let the votes stand.

Like Brad was saying, if you had a 3+ star rating and 10+ votes it would be very difficult to bring you below the 3 star average.  This would be a good incentive for those who have reached that point to continue to produce quality comics and be an active contributor in the forums.  If they ever fell below the 3 star minimum then it would probably (I say that loosely) be for a good reason.  Such as a pattern of low grade comics.

Are you saying that you would rate me, as a user (as in, not the comic itself), "bad" if I made a string of comics that you didn't find funny enough? Is that what you mean by "a pattern of low grade comics" being justification for a user's rating to fall below three stars?

Mediocrity at its most average.

I don't think comics HAVE to be funny to be good, so no.  But I think that it is up to each voting user to decide what their personal criteria is for voting on a user and what makes that user worthy of a good, okay, or bad vote.  Ultimately though this IS a comic creation site. While community involvement may be an important aspect of a users contributions to the site, if they are a terrible comic maker than I would feel justified in voting them down.

Oxymoronic or not. Make Stripcreator Donation Free!

The forums used to be invite-only. Why not make the ability to vote invite-only? Of course, Donors would automatically be 'invited'.

If someone is active and constructive on the forums then they get to vote. All they need to do is apply and a mod can look at their posts and comics and decide whether to give them voting rights. 'Is not a troll' and 'Has sense of humour'  would be the main criteria.

I think what Seanator said was on the right track but when Brad said the reason Non-doners couldn't vote I thought yeah that seems pretty fair. Seeming i recently tryed to sign my cousin up with myn own e-mail account (the one I used for my account) It didn't work so I thought that The reason it wouldn't work was just because you can't use your email more than once. And now i know why. thanks Brad for telling everyone why. Oh And i think that we should allow comments on comics for non-donors that would be nice. i mean that would be easier for them,

I also happen to have 1 vote with twelve stars yet everybody seems to like my comics while my cousin somehow only made 3 comics yet he has 52 votes with 4 stars. I like how donors get at least a bit more privilege and i think it's very much worth the money and donation of the money.
