Voting System
Scoring the daily nominees.
Once approved, sites are sent to a minimum of 18 jury members, and the 3 jury scores furthest from the average are automatically eliminated by our system. The voting process lasts 5 days, but if a site receives a high score from the jury and at least 10 PRO users, it could win a SOTD before the end of the 5-day period. strong.
Users votes: only votes made by Professional users (who have passed through our validation system) will be taken into account. This is to avoid the creation of false accounts, set up to benefit or cause harm to particular nominees. If you suspect the creation of false users, please do report them here.
