LLoyd, If I were an organization that actively wanted to "game" the Nomcom, I'd have all or my employees submit I-Ds. Remember that we have no content requirements on I-Ds such that one that are obviously completely irrelevant be taken down. There aren't even rules against duplication.

And that would be almost equally true of Christer's suggestion except I then wonder if easily-measured criteria such as TL;DR and TSFCA:TITT* would need to be considered. Unless we were to set up a content-monitoring committee to determine which I-Ds or reviews are substantive enough to be counted, we'd end up needing to determine what counts. That is the beauty of the existing pool and randomization setup. While any of us can figure out a way to game it (and it may need tweaking if, intentionally or not, someone does), it is objective and very simple, with no elements of "does this count". I don't imagine there are many of us who actually like it or wish it did some things better, but there it is. best, john
