Is there a weighting to how points are assigned?

Can this be adjusted? It'd be cool if I could say that the #1 votes get 2X the points as the #2 votes.

Not yet, although that is something we've heard from at least 1 other person who uses a similar system (that they manually do in Excel)

This will be especially helpful if I want a certain outcome (tweak weightings, recompile, rinse, repeat).. :)

"You can't put a price on good decisions - But we tried anyway" -- nice plans & pricing intro :)

This is great.

Currently my team uses google docs to survey our customers. This works really well because we don't have to organize temporary users or share the results publicly.

Am I able to do something similar with ForceRank?

That would definitely work. For v1, your customers would be able to see each others results. Would that work for you?

tdowns2• 13 years ago

Yeah! I'm sure we can figure out a way. Thanks.

So, how does it aggregate rankings? Arrow's theorem says there is basically no good way to do it ;)

I thought about something similar, like a combination of wiki and upvoting (like on Hacker News or Stack Overflow). Would be useful to create collaborative priority lists of things. Maybe someone will write something like that.

The pricing plans are LOL.

Irrational but honest feedback: There's something about the name that really doesn't mesh with me. I read the headline and had an immediate negative emotional response. ForceRank, to me, just sounds very negative, rigid, and well...forceful, ha. And, to me, at least, it doesn't seem in line with the purpose of the project.

That said, I may very well be the only one that felt that way. I don't mean this as criticism of the product itself, as it looks nice. I would just hate for people to pass it up because they're having a negative subconcious response to the name.
