I believe the effect of drive by voters is usually that people get irritated on that there are some votes on bad moves, not actually that a bad move wins (unless there are very few participants and there are fewer then 2 votes for the winning move).
Personally I think at least some of these improvements will be implemented, and I want it to be added on their "to do" -list as I believe it is worth the project of implementing these improvements. If no staff comment here I will send them a message myself when I believe the list is ready. Chess.com is always improving and after they have added chess 960 to live chess I believe improving vote chess should be a project worth working on. Therefor I want the list to be as good as possible and let chess.com do whatever they like with it.
Wormrose , chess.com hasn't shown any willingness to change something in Vote Chess.Although I am new in the site , older members told me that Vote Chess is the same for the last 5 years and that is too much since we are talking for an on-line site with so many members.
Common notice from many members I discussed with, is that chess.com doesn't really care in changing something.The last changes which I witnessed prove that.They changed the look and a number of unimportant features while important ones like Vote chess remained untouched.
Just a small improvement would be enough.For example , the Team Captain to know what the members vote.Drive by voting would be instantly fixed.
Don't have high expectations, we will keep "walking" with what we have.
