This not only seems to fix the issue, but will also increase the general quality of PotM winners, rather than having not very well written pasta just win because they are popular. I don't know, but I feel like random, decent or mediocre stories will sometimes win rather than exceptional stories that show off the quality a Creepypasta can reach (probably because a lot of people don't even read all the nominations I'm guessing).

I'm a little iffy on the idea of admins also nominating pastas, because it kind of takes away most of our choice in the matter. If a pasta an admin nominated were to win (which honestly, seeing as the admin who nominated it will likely vote for it, doesn't sound like an unlikely outcome), then really, our nominations wouldn't really be involved at all. I don't know, I feel like the admins already have enough choice in the matter by voting on the stories and don't really need to nominate stories, regardless of if they are in the community or not. Might just be a personal gripe of mine, but that's just my view on it.
