Yes, it might happen. Check the last year's results (and the years before are there too) to see how often it happens ;>GuntherAMVs wrote:I think this might be a silly question (since I can see from last year that it's true)
but can some videos be in multiple categories for voting?
It seems like there are certain videos that are showing up in several different threads, and that's not a bad thing at all! Congrats to the editors! :'D
But will contest come down to 4 or 5 videos taking all the awards? Does that happen a lot in the VCAs?

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
Question: do we have a restriction about how many categories a video can win in the VCAs?
Let's say in the case that a video doesn't fit in one category, voting has begun and the author wants to change the genres. Is it possible to do the change during the voting?

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
Which forces us to rate the video...I often search for a video on youtube first even after finding it on the org so I'm not forced to rate it. I personally prefer to watch a video a few times and put though into rating it, I don't really like being forced into it. Also the audio delay appears to be worse on the org than on youtube, I suspect that youtube's audio codec has a minimal delay while the org probably uses nero or something similar with a 50+ ms delay, causing sync issues.Radical_Yue wrote:Because there is the preview option which works exactly like a youtube stream?

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
This is not true, and I've heard from a few people that because they are forced to, they just rate everything a 3, which skews the ratings a bit too. I've often gone back to rate videos later after having watch it on youtube as well.Nya-chan Production wrote:If you don't, nobody does it.

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
I've never been a fan of the forced rating system so I am one of the people who rates everything a 3, especially since I download hundreds of videos at once to watch at later times, being forced to rate videos every 10 I've downloaded in order to download more is just annoying, especially in VCA times when I wind up downloading a good thousand or so videos all at once....

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
The interesting thing to consider - if it were changed, would we need to reset all the votes? ;>ngsilver wrote:I've never been a fan of the forced rating system so I am one of the people who rates everything a 3, especially since I download hundreds of videos at once to watch at later times, being forced to rate videos every 10 I've downloaded in order to download more is just annoying, especially in VCA times when I wind up downloading a good thousand or so videos all at once....

Re: 2013 VCA General Discussions
In light of obtaining a proper data set and thus more accurate scores, probably. Practically, I don't consider this a very viable option, especially for older videos that are rarely downloaded. In the end, I think it'd be better left up to the editors themselves each if they'd like their data to be purged or left as is. The default in this case would be to leave the data as is, basically preserving the current rating for videos and editors who are not around anymore.Nya-chan Production wrote:The interesting thing to consider - if it were changed, would we need to reset all the votes? ;>ngsilver wrote:I've never been a fan of the forced rating system so I am one of the people who rates everything a 3, especially since I download hundreds of videos at once to watch at later times, being forced to rate videos every 10 I've downloaded in order to download more is just annoying, especially in VCA times when I wind up downloading a good thousand or so videos all at once....
In the end, I will once again be downloading every video in the Semi's this year in order to play them during my livestream event for the VCAs. Prepare for a lot of 3's
