HIVE

Right, right. I just meant that if somebody comes from the outside of Hive, he sees a poll 1st, votes and only than finds that down in the thread are some rules about voting.

Since in most cases IRL, you can vote for yourself, it is only logical to asume that it will be same in Hive. (Not many people IRL participate in some competitions, so they aren't exposed to it)

No that's not true. You can't vote for yourself in most cases. In every art contest, there is a jury and the people vote your stuff, not you yours.
They are exposed to it. X-country's got talent and stuff like that everywhere.

"(Not many people IRL participate in some competitions, so they aren't exposed to it)"

As I've mentioned before, you are probably artist so you have experience from real life competitions. But only small portion of population participates in such. Most people know elections (Where you can vote for yourself) or some kind of school competitions.(In my school, voting was secret, so you could vote for youself, again)

I understand what you mean, but perhaps that idea by @Pyrogasm wasn't that bad.
