Thanks again to everyone who made something for the jams, as well as everyone who scored and reviewed the entries.
Double XP Weekend
This weekend both Saturday and Sunday will have double the XP limit, so you can vote on ten items and earn 20XP per day!
I do have a favor to ask, though.
It would be much appreciated if you could browse the Best of All Time on the Classic Portal page and vote on as many entries as possible.
The entries in the top 50 have scores above a 4.5, so even if you like them a lot, you can bring them down to earth a bit if you think they are more of a 4.5. Or maybe you think some of them aren't even a 4.
Older entries currently skew higher than new ones because their score data is based heavily on old reviews, which tended to score more favorably than votes. We ended anonymous voting in 2015 and stopped referencing the anonymous vote data with the launch of our Voting Overhaul this past month.
Everything is expected to fall in line as older content accumulates new score data. Thank you in advance if you help with this!
Next up is the Best of September and the deadline for our Super Crown Art Contest. We also have a small surprise in store for a handful of Inktober participants!
