Jeremy He said he loves the way I do talk like - that's worth a nomination.

Only once, but I was trying to nominate Gore. Stupid butterfly ballot.

<font color=#FF0000>Would people just post their nominations and not comments, is was managed last month, I can't see why it is so hard to do this month. It makes the counters job far easier if he/she doesn't have to wade through all the spam</font>

Just to add to this, it's 3 nominations per post only, not 1, 2, 4 etc. 3. If you don't have 3 i'm not sure if any of them will be counted.

I just sort of thought of this in the Test thread, but not everyone reads those, and I know that this is really for nominations only, but here I go anyway because I didn't want to make a new thread about reform.

So reform.

I was thinking, theres a lot of bitching and controversy about the POTM. So I figure, why not do what pretty well every democratic nation does? Secret ballot.

We could have an email address that, at the end of each month, people email their nominations to. It would be open for the last 3 days of the month. Then the person in charge of the address would tabulate the results and start a poll using the top ten. Simple.

We could even have a thread that reminds people the address is open, the duty of which would go to a mod who could open and then close it after the reminder.

I also would suggest moving it down to 2 nominations per PEELer. The reasoning behind this would be that most people either throw their last vote to the wind or don't vote for 3. 2 is enough. I'd say one, but sometimes two people deserve it.

I'd volunteer to run the address unless someone else would rather that I not do it. Either way, I think it would be better than the current system, as it would probably cut down on the "VOTE FOR ME" crap and encourages others to vote for quality not popularity.

[Reply #105 on:]

Chump, you're taking it way too seriously.  All that emailed nomination, secret ballot crap is a lot of work for what's meant to be a fun but pointless vote.

[Reply #106 on:]

NibblerJr  -  Hyia!
FemJesse  -  Uh, hmm, no reason.  where is she anyway?
Mango  -  fluff!

[Reply #107 on:]

And the secret ballot plan has flaws too. Either everyone has to post their email address, or people could make up addresses and mail in extra nominations.

Not to mention the tally-keeper could cheat and pick candidates he prefers for the final 10, even if they didn't quite make the cut.

[Reply #108 on:]

I think that would be taking things too seriously. You could find someone who has the right amount of apathy to do it. Like DT or something.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

[Reply #109 on:]

I agree with Fred, people need to take this less seriously, not more so.  It's a bit of fun, and we have a set of rules which already give it the structure it needs.

The reason we get whingers is because for reasons best known to themselves, this little thing is somehow important to them.

Unfortunately we cannot de-pathetify their lives enough for them not to care how this turns out.  Mores the pity.

[Reply #110 on:]

Just remember this: You don't deserve to win. People who are better posters than you have not yet won, and deserve to, and will win before you.

If everyone thinks this, then all will be happy.

[Reply #111 on:]

Or chronically depressed...

Since people think that my suggestion is too... complicated, may I continue to voice that we only need 2 nominations?

[Reply #112 on:]

2 nomination, 3 nominations, I don't see it makes any difference.  Some people have a dozen PEELers they'd be justified in nominating, others would just make crazy nominations no matter how many they were allowed.

Stop taking the whole concept so seriously. Secret ballots? Complaining about comments?

Take a look at what you're complaining about, it's just a gimmick that's gone on far too long and is really not worth getting upset about...

[Reply #117 on:]

Heh. Your avatar is a doggie! 

[Reply #118 on:]

Well, you wanted us to act not-so-seriously?

*Honks a horn*

[Reply #119 on:]

Well I normally avoid nominations, coz I dont believe in the pointlessness of this POTM, but here we go anyway
Alexvilagosh- great bloke, constant poster
Asylum-fry- Anyone who can get to her rank in a month and not be accused of spam deserves it
Chump- coz he takes this poll so seriously
