i still don't get this voting system; you get how many points? is it even-distribution? is it by-order? i'm sure its simple, and im just being stupid, but i'm missing something, and there are no tips.

Personally, i'd prefer, 'pick 3 you find most important', or simliar - less effort required to get in on the vote.

That works too, I think: just assign 1, 2, 3 and leave the rest blank. You don't get points, exactly. I was the first to submit my opinion and my first choice immediately rocketed forward with 55 points or something large like that. Wikipedia has a decent article on Borda polls. It's essentially just rank order. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda_count
