what about holding a vote to nominate  a selection of stories to be reviewed by a committe as a way of reworking POTM. Users still get a say of what is considered, but admin or a group of reviewers can still prevent a popular but awful pasta from winning. That's what we did. Skelly is the one that controls the PotM. He omitted Raparat from the polls, and took out Pokemon Fusia (or Dark) Green from the polls. People still bitched and complained about this happening. It'll still happen, because people can't take a shun from their story that they have nominated for this contest. Hmm, in that case I really don't see much of a way to fix it. Mostly because if you take out a user nominated aspect I expect a freakout. Granted, if you accepted that some people would be turned off from the start and counted them as acceptable potential lost users then you could nuke it and start over (possibly with tighter admin control) but anything that major is going to make waves.
