I'd love to see the voting split into two segments: Commercial and Non-Commercial.
Note, I did not say "for profit" and "non profit," nor did I say "free vs. pay to play."
Commercial = if they accept real money in exchange for ANYTHING other than (perhaps) a credits page on their website thanking people for donating. Whether it's a monthly fee, a donation system, a pay for perks system, whichever. If they take money and give something in return *within the game itself* then it could be considered commercial as far as this mudlistings site is concerned. It wouldn't apply to accepting donations in exchange for out-of-game perks, such as coffee mugs and mousepads.
Non-Commercial = if they do not accept any money in exchange for any in-game perks, whether it's a monthly fee to play, game coins, credits, levels, armor, RP points, etc. etc. etc.
And then...
Allow everyone to cast one vote, per month, in each of the two categories. At the end of the month the list is reset. So by the end of the month you can get a -general- idea of which commercial game people are willing to use their ONE vote for, and which non-commercial game people are willing to use their ONE vote for.
If a month is too long, make it 2 weeks. Make it a weekly system. Or a daily system. It doesn't matter really, as long as it's clarified at the top of the page which is being used and when the site is scheduled for reset.
