I have recently come to realise that the 'first come, first served' method of competition voting is rather unfair. Example:

Say the rules are "First to 6 votes wins".

The first 6 people who come online and see box A, like it and vote for it, so it wins.
What about the (let's say 8) people who like box B who haven't come online or to the site yet but will vote for it? But it's too late.

This could be due to global time zones, home computer use or any other reasons.

I think a new method should be used.

The box with more votes after 1 day wins.

Thread over.

True, time limit based voting is a much better option.

Yes, that would be better, as long as this is outlined in the rules first. I'm glad you all agree.
