Currently, when character poll suggestions happen, you have the possibility of mentionning a size qualifier (chubby, plus size, super size, ultra size). When I introduced them two months ago, I mentionned that in the future I could add voting multipliers per size, should some of them be over/under-represented. Admittedly with little surprise, it's been noticeable that suggestions towards the upper end of the size spectrum tend to do better both quantitatively (amount of suggestions) and qualitatively (amount of votes). I'm sure some of you noticed or anticipated it too, and might have felt the need to suggest characters at a bigger size than the one they might have prefered, so that their suggestion would have better chances to win. Here is a proposal for things to be a little more balanced out.

Voting multipliers would be fairly simple to get, by subtracting the amount of drawings of a given size to the amount of drawings of the most drawn size, then mutiplying the result by 10. Currently, the voting multipliers applied to votes would be the following:
- Chubby - 0 drawing, +30% bonus
- Plus Size - 1 drawing, +20% bonus
- Super Size - 3 drawings, no bonus
- Ultra Size - 2 drawings, +10% bonus

I'm well aware that from a "business" perspective, it might seem counter-intuitive to introduce voting mechanics to balance size popularity but I believe that as patrons, anyone of you should have the opportunity to have their suggestion be picked, even if you're more into smaller sizes.

Before trying this, I wanted to have your opinion on these voting multipliers. You're the ones doing the suggestions, and I don't want them to have to be overthought one way or another. As for me, I'm fine both with or without voting multipliers! In the end I'm happy drawing characters at all sizes, so this is more an attempt at improving a system (that might not need improvements) than anything.

So, are these voting multipliers something you'd like to see used?

As someone who would prefer all parts of the spectrum to be represented i think this is a good idea

I do like variety; Girls of all sizes? Go for it
