What is the proper etiquette for voting? Do I only promote if I would attend the session or do I also promote if I think it's a good idea even though I wouldn't attend? Do I demote if I have no intention of going or only demote if I think it's a terrible idea for a session? I know there's "

A tag is a keyword that is used to categorize an entry. To view the entries with a particular tag, click a tag name or enter a tag in the box.
The tag cloud indicates the frequency of tag use. Popular tags appear darkest. The slider control adjusts how many tags are displayed in the tag cloud.
1 Bruce Elgort Permalink David,
I pinged Mac so he can answer this question for you.
2 mac guidera Permalink I'd say there is no right or wrong way to vote on these session ideas. What I like about IdeaJam, is that you can comment on the different ideas and address these same concerns. Doing so allows others to gain insight to your vantage point and better understand why you voted as you did.
Much better than just ticking a box. But in any case, voting is a
good thing.
3 Kevin Pettitt Permalink I would definitely NOT demote anything just because you won't attend. Do that only if you truly think it's not a worthy session and ideally use the comments to explain why. There will likely be a survey from the conference organizers where you can identify which sessions you'd like to actually attend, so they can figure out which rooms to allocate to which sessions.
I would certainly promote anything you want to attend yourself, but
you might also consider promoting anything that you feel has merit
and will benefit the community at large or even your own
colleagues, customers, or partners.
The "No Opinion" is there mostly as a filter so you can take
advantage of IdeaJam's ability to show you your "Unvoted" items.
4 Andrew Pollack Permalink Everyone uses their own strategy, but generally, here's what I did:
If I would attend, all things being equal, I voted for it.
If I think it adds value to the track, sufficient that I know
something else might have to give way for it, I voted for it --
even if it wasn't the best track for it to be in.
If it was a direct competitor to something I proposed, I checked
"No Opinion".
If I was on the fence about something but I know the speaker is
someone who would do well with it, I selected "No Opinion"
Only if I thought it was a bad idea for a session or the
combination of session and speaker did I vote no. If I vote no, I
try to say why in a comment. That's just courtesy.
