I've also grown a bit fed up of the idea of voting. It's great to hear forum members' playing and ideas but I feel that grading them takes the edge off the experience for me. I realise that the competition element is what spurs many on to submit ideas but it started to put me off. I'm sure that's just me though and I've been happy to keep out of it since I felt this way.
I'm not really fussed about the time limit - my riffs won't be any good! But a good riff (to me) would be short and repetitive, grab the listener quickly and ideally be memorable.
1 minute does seem too long - it's a third of a pop song! But as I haven't contributed or even voted yet then I'm probably not best placed to comment...
Re. Anonymous submissions - if you name the riff and votes are given for the riff name it wouldn't get complicated for voting at all. I wouldn't be bothered about anonymity but I can see why others might be.
Keep up the good work chaps and I'll hopefully join you soon.

i personally think its fine the way it is.
its not suppose to be taken too seriously, and the riff doesnt have to be overly produced with backing tracks etc...i always submit raw guitar track recorded with an iphone, im sure thats not the reason that i havent been a winner yet.
extending it to 1 min time limit is cool...for me anyway, but i guess people can submit shorter riffs and thats fine.
as far as being anonymous, i'm not too fussed with that. I dont have any issues with people listening to my riffs knowing its me, i think the people on this forum are cool enough not to look down upon people with lesser skill or want to steal a riff and get rich off it.
at the end of the day, its not a serious competition thats going to further your aspirations as a musician, its just a bit of fun on the forum with a cheeky prize...with that in mind, i say we dont over complicate this and keep it simple.

I've listened to LOADS of bootlegs over the years so I'm quite used to listening to less-than-perfect recordings. And I'm not a fan of over-polished production anyway.
