Thumbs won't work because people will just create fake identities to inflate their thumbs up.
GOTM won't change anything because there will simply be more games, and less people will have informed opinions because fewer people will take the time to play all the additional games in the running, although the winners would be of a more consistent quality.
I don't really like the idea of the Editor's Choice, as it gives a few people all the say and most of the people none of the say in what gets featured, but it's probably the best way to feature quality games, unless you want to limit voting to people who have been around a certain amount of time, or have a certain amount of forum posts or DC points, but that would probably require too much work on the part of Clubsoft, or whoever is pulling the levers behind the scenes of this monkey parade.
Personally, I think there should be a Game of the Day, and everyone should win no matter how terrible their game is. Then everyone can be a winner and we can all be friends and have rainbows. But, I have $40 in my ass, so my opinion's probably not important.

I was explaining why that wouldn't be an improvement over what we already have. Since people would continue to cheat in a similar way, it wouldn't solve the problem.

One way to solve it would be to have a jury of some kind. Maybe the admins, or just like 10-15 suitable TDC members, that voted each week on their favourite, and then the winner was selected for GOTW? Wouldnt that be worth a try?
