A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingI think the "files of the month" should be for files released during the current month BUT this is a new feature and there are a ton of mods that missed the window (like Lost Paladins) when the feature did not exist so I wouldn't think we should restrict it to "just" the newest releases. If this were implemented from the beginning, yes, current month releases only but this is a mid-release feature and it shows Dark0ne put a lot of thought into how it should be implemented...allowing all mods to be voted on and allowing for multiple files...thus allowing new AND old mods to be selected.

Agreed, although I didn't know authors could see the votes cast for their file outside of reading the top 5 list. I don't have a file uploaded yet and can't see any count on the user's page. You're right about that being encouraging to modders. Best reason to vote.
My 'vote for a file released this month' thing can have it's drawbacks sometimes. I've just been reminded of that this week by the stunning Amaterasu no Yume and the UL River Ethe. I may have to bend the rule slightly for those. We'll see what gives them a run for their money over the next 4 weeks.
If nothing else, it may encourage the author by seeing that someone voted for their mod. So even if the file is too new to be popular this month, the act of voting can still serve some good, and there's always next month.
I prefer to wait until the month's end to vote cos I always vote for a file released within that month. It's just how I like to do it. The files I've voted for so far have never been on the shortlist when I've cast them so I always know it probably won't count for much. But I still do it just in case that vote bumps it onto the list.
