I think that the only restriction the first idea needs is that a user can post a link about a story only once (maybe twice, if he has made a major edit).

Your second paragraph is exactly why I posted here in the first place. I feel that the effort behind PoTM is wasted. The stories nominated seem to be nominated at random. By that, I mean that even if a user reads a story he likes, it is very unlikely to nominate it, unless he has another motive (maybe the story is made by a friend of his, or something completely different). For example, in this month's competition, one of the nominated stories is one of the most cliche and predictable stories I have read the past couple of years. I doubt it was nominated by more than one person. Despite that, it has been pretty adequately voted.

What I am trying to say is, PoTM doesn't seem to be working. Pastas that are less than deserving get spotlighted. And that somehow needs to change.
