#Indiana Social Media Summit
From the Wall of Robby Gehlhausen Slaughter
Hear ye, hear ye! I have been appointed head of the governing committee for the 2010 Indiana Social Media SMackdown! I need committee members. I will accept up to five members, and will make my final decision on committee members by midnight on Sept 30, 2010.
– Committee members will not be eligible to be a candidate in… the competition.
– The committee will define and publish guidelines for “reasonable nominations” and accept nominations from the public
– The committee will decide by unanimous vote if a proposed nominee shall be included on the ballot
– I reserve the right to remove a committee member at any time, with or without cause.
That is all.

Nominations will close at midnight on December 15, 2010. All reasonable nominations will be included in the final ballot. A governing committee headed by Robby Slatughter will define what is and is not reasonable.
ALL Nominees must have lived and worked in #Indiana for at least 10 months during the 2010 calendar year.
All nominees must be ACTIVELY Participating in at least THREE of the major Social Media Platforms. Simply having a presence does not constitute active participation. The governing committee headed by Robby Slaughter will set a minimum standard to be included as a nominee on the final ballot.
Ballot with final list of candidates will be available soon after nominations close and then remain open till midnight on December 29, 2009. -ajs

I forgot to mention that I selected the list of nominees to be “Randomized” so that no one has a chance to win simply because their name always appears first among the choices.
Voting will be run on the Honor System (this may be naive, but I trust #Indiana folk-for the most part). Before voting in each category, the voter must answer two “yes or no” questions:
1. The Dude I am voting for abides by the THARG principles in his social media interactions and his face-to-face relationships. THARG = Transparency, Honesty, Authenticity, Reciprocity and Gratuity.
2. I view this Dude as the MOST INFLUENTIAL #Indiana Social Media proponent among the nominees listed below — NOT simply the most popular or a personal favorite.
No one has kibitzed yet, and the bit.ly link has been clicked 31 times as of 1:17 pm et 12-23-09.

…With 132 ballots completed I am pleased to report there are a few who actually clicked, “I am only voting because the nominee asked me to and I haven’t given it much thought.” I like that kind of honesty. =)

I was able to turn on private browsing and submit multiple times to your form. Are you doing anything to ensure people voting don’t vote multiple times? Or is this just a free-for-all to the person who just sits at a computer and makes a thousand votes?

@doug, if Private Browsing fools the IP address detector at FormSpring, that’s something you should pass along to them to fix!

@amy We all appreciate you running the contest, but as you’ve identified no online poll can be considered fair. (http://musicmachinery.com/2009/04/15/inside-the-precision-hack/) Perhaps in the future, you can have a “judges award” in which you ask some people to select the winner.

I have been out of the loop with the holidays and have not monitored this closely.
Amy, You can see IP addresses on form submissions but not limit by IP address. To add multiple entries a user could simply refresh their browser and resubmit.
You can make fields unique http://support.formspring.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=5 to limit submissions for example, by email address. That might have been a better way to do it.
I wanted to be as hands off on this as much as possible so as not to appear that our company was trying to “profit” from Amy’s idea. We gave her a tool to help simplify the process to show our support of this fun event. If we had worked a bit more closely together or provided her more guidance we may have been able to show her some ways to limit submissions, etc. I think the spirit of this “contest” is well intentioned and Amy has done a good job setting it up.
