Updated rules:
- Every project to get votes in a month will have earned a place in the Sponsored section for the month that follows.
- If a project does not get any votes during month it will not be in Sponsored in the following month. This also happens if the project is not nominated by lack of progress.
- All previously present rules surrounding the PotM voting are still in effect as they were untill mentioned otherwise.
More details and other possible changes are still being discussed, but this one is pretty definitive.
In short: You guys/girls hereby get more direct control over who does or does not get into Sponsored the following month. If a single person votes for a project then that is enough to get it moved. There is no longer a reason not to vote for a project months in a row (in fact: it's encouraged to keep it from falling back). Getting moved to Sponsored hopefully encourages creators for there continued work and I also hope that you all reading this will help support the projects you feel deserve it.
Feel free to give some feedback on this matter if you're voting anyway.
