Why not? People may have been getting featured just because they were popular or something. Look at Rakoua, he has been nominated for months now, and hasn't yet won, or Nwj, who made the site in the first place and hasn't won yet. Granted, if he were more active it'd help, but name one reason why voting through posts is any worse than having no reason to other than the fact you want to?
Here in America we FOUGHT for the right to a private vote. It is NO ONE's business who I vote for, and that's the bottom line.
You do have quite authority MsRR

-Really? I didn't know Nwj hasn't won yet, kinda sad :-\.
I need to do something with my life here ={(
