"Cyber, the problem with that is, any thumbnail with a nude woman or breasts in it will get the "most viewed" everytime. Thats the downside of it."

My point exactly by it not being "Family Friendly".

However, the only way to pull it away from being a "popularity contest" is to prohibit, in as much as possible, the abuses that make it so and to, somehow, increase the population of the Community participating in it (which will help squelch "ballot stuffing"). They could always exclude any that have the "Nudity" flag from the running, if they desired, just like they could limit the genre or any other identifying attribute.

It can be done, but it takes planning, coordination, and work, which will probably stop it from being done since it most likely doesn't contribute enough to the bottom line to make it a worthwhile investment in time and coding.
