I get what you mean, but the reasoning behind this system is more than that. The way we were picking candidates and posting blogs was flawed in more ways than that.


 * Users who qualify may never get a vote.
 * Users could not explain why they would be a good choice.
 * Users were picked that weren't interested in promotion.
 * There was some bias in previous selections, and the set in stone requirements erase that for the most part.

I might not have explained the reasoning behind this very well but that's not the only reason, my bad
