If user is short on points and cannot add designs, he/she should vote on other users designs. Every correct vote grants 1 point. User can also lose points by picking design that has less community support (less people liked it). Completing the survey grants extra points (https://comparere.io/survey). There was also upload problem which has been fixed.

This sounds like you are deliberately building an echo chamber. Sure, I understand you don't want random voting to be rewarded, but this will actively punish people who simply prefer a different aesthetic than the majority.

Voting mechanism is currently very harsh. Thank you for your feedback, we will consider it in the next updates. Initially, we wanted Comparere to operate on the basis of A/B testing, but in micro scale. Our goal was to separate subjective opinions from the statistics. In our belief, better design is the one liked by majority of people, because it has and advantage to appeal to more audiences. We will try however to soften our "punishment system".

Congrats on launching! I'd recommend changing your copy on the site to be as obvious as the description you wrote above (that it's about when you're having trouble picking between two designs). When I read through the site I _thought_ I knew what it was doing but wasn't quite sure until I ready your description above.

Thanks! That's a good idea, we will definitely add similar description.

So you can earn points by picking your favorite designs, but why can you lose them?
Arek_Lysakowski 1610 days ago [-]
You can lose points when you pick design that has less community support (less people liked it). This is to prevent situation, when someone would just kept voting on random designs. We also wanted to add an element of uncertainty when voting. When you would only be able to gain points, voting would quickly become boring.
