I just feel that we would get a better reflection of diversity if we limited the number of backing people could make. Just an idea, maybe too late now anyway, but I thought I would throw it out there, might make the last few decades a little more interesting.

It's an interesting idea. One good thing about all of us picking 6 films is we get past the pet films everyone has demonstrated they have, and we get a wider consensus and find common appreciations of notable works.
Perhaps V might consider trying to combine the best aspects of both ideas: with the basic point system we're already using, each person backs two films, which allots two points each. And then their remaining four films are awarded one point each. That gives important films weight, and still affords a wider consensus.
For personal consideration/discussion: should any of us really decide to neg any films with the initial intent of try to 'make room' for another film we prefer? Rather, we seemed to have had been building a precedence, not only that negging would be extremely rare, but also that one wouldn't neg a film for being merely OK, but rather extremely bad in some way.
