Due to recent feedback and to avoid future issues like this one, voting requirement calculations have been relaxed. Three tweaks were made:

- The submission count will be calculated as (Entry Count - Disqualified Entry Count)
- If the voter submitted an entry, 1 will be subtracted from the total to account for any anomalies
- Troll voting parameters were tweaked to hopefully lessen the amount of false positives

For the example referenced at the top, instead of the calculation being 80/401 (19%), in the future, it will result in 80/398 (20%).

These tweaks will not be retroactive.

How about an increase in size allowances now? I'll give you $25.

What about the Javascript application that provides a mild shock to anyone leaving a 3 or less without a comment? I thought that was in work.

Ya know what? That's nice, Langdon. To borrow a phrase from our friends
down under: "good on you."

...the committee has been feeling extraordinarily generous this year.

But Langdon actually did something productive. Far more than the previous two recipients have done. :)

And the last Republican Nobel Peace Prize winner? Can't really think of one. How Christian, how ironic.... :)

When the vote scrubber throws out someone's honest votes because it sees their voting pattern as one normally done by trolls tactical voters.
