How do we get more votes? I am seeing a few good ideas come through however i have no way of up voting them other than leaving a comment.
Short of unvoting, do we recover our vote when the idea has been implemented? If yes how do we close out a thread in the forums?
Airtable Discourse forum seems to offer the thread creator a “Solution” button to close the thread?
I personally think there should be no limit on votes per person.
Why?
- if someone votes on everything then that just tells you they want everything and doesn’t affect the prioritisation of work. Which is fine
- People who are no longer active in the forums can’t vote on future items, which is also fine as it means the votes are coming from people still interested enough to be participating in the ongoing development of Infinity and willing to play an active role. The votes you see being given is a reflection of the current community sentiment and not the sentiment of legacy customers.
- In order for people to prioritise the work they want done, they only vote on the things that are truly important to them. Thus increasing priority for their selected group.
- Currently there are new items with no votes even though they are good ideas. This is probably because the legacy members have used up all their votes, and don’t want to agonize over what vote to return from another item to give to the new item or maybe they are an equal split in desirability…
I can’t see any disadvantages of giving everyone unlimited votes? If anything it would give a fairer representation of what the community wants. Correct me if i am overlooking something?
I hope the infinity product roadmap board will have infinite votes.
