There aren't many tens out there. I've been on what seems like tons (it's Wednesday and I have twenty hours logged this week) and I'm only a seven. I like the 1-5 better myself. If you're reasonably active, you should have a full vote.

I'm going to throw my hat in for the 1-3 system.

The 1-10 can sway elections WAAAY to much.

If 4 people with 10s vote for Person A, he gets 40 votes.
If 7 people with 5s vote for Person B, he gets 35 votes.

Now that's a rather rare situation, but we all get the picture.

With 1-3, it would more accuratly show the majority.
If the the B voters had 2 and the A 3, then B would have 14 and A 12.

The admin apparently have numbers and statistics behind their 10 point scale which I think seems fair.

I have a 7, I think a 7 feels right for me (or maybe an 8), as I don't play as much anymore. However, if it was a 3 point scale, I would be pissed if I was regulated to a 2 instead of 3.

Why the heck would you be "pissed"? 7 vs. 10 is about 1/3 less... 2 instead of 3 is about 1/3 less, but means your vote has MORE impact in relation (a difference of 1, instead of a difference of 3). Further, 2 would be the "average," which, given your play time, is about right. Why would getting twice the impact of an inactive person piss you off? :/

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: These go to eleven.

Daganev and Xenthos reminded me of the best bit from the Spinal Tap movie:
If I was as cool as Dem, I'd so alter that to make it fit better and thus inspire more to laugh than just me (which I fear is the case here! ). But I'm not.

Do I get to call bullcrap on that? You haven't supported your assertions... the admin haven't even said so.

What this means is that your vote is weighted based on how often and how
long you are log in over time. Thus, the votes of players who are active
have a greater weight than those who are not. The vote weight ranges
from 1 to 10 (you may see the weight of your vote on STATUS). We have
run a lot of analysis to determine the best way to weight votes. As it
is, over 60% of active players will have their votes weighted in the
range of 5-10. Over 75% of active players will have their votes in the
range of 4-10.
