Poster Of The Month: "Official" Rule Discussion

[#200 :]

 I agree with Bend-err.

I also agree with this.

[#201 :]

I agree with Bend-err.

I also agree with this.

I agree with one of you, but not the other two.

[#202 :]

So many people agreeing with me lately. I think this can only mean that PEEL will be gone forever soon

[#203 :]

If you went back to 2006 and informed people that in five years I'd have the word "Moderator" written under my avatar, they'd probably tell you the same thing.

[#204 :]

If I told you everything was going to plan five years from now

[#205 :]

Results are in:


* Who is eligible for nomination:
-everyone who didn't win within 12 months

* How many nominations should everyone be able to make:
-3 (no multiples)

* How long does nominating last:
-5 days

* How long does voting last:
-5 days

* Default number of POTM candidates
- 10

* Should the POTM poll allow PEELers to vote only for their foremost choice or for all choices they support?
-foremost choice only (1 vote)

I'm liking these results, good choices and I think these will work well. Mostly what I went for too...

Also congrats Xanfor!...

[#206 :]

2010 is the longest year ever.

[#207 :]

It was 365 whole days.

[#208 :]

Well at least there's only 11 people on that list. Means you've got one extra person to choose from when you're nominating now.

[#209 :]

So currently not able to win for April 2011:

Gorky                         April 2010

2010 is the longest year ever.

I think this was Svip's point, Bend-err.

[#210 :]

Also congrats Xanfor!...

Don't forget futurefreak and ShepherdofShark as well.

We're all in ur subforum, moderating ur votes.

[#211 :]

I like you, Xanfor. You always spell my name right.

[#212 :]

Nutty: I count 12...

SoS: not my fault that 2011 is just as bad as 2010.

[#213 :]

Booze: I'm on there twice. That makes eleven people.

[#214 :]

You are not two people? I HAVE BEEN LIED TO!

[#215 :]

Hell no.

I'm actually three. You're talking to neutral Nutmeg just now. I bound and gagged Nice Nutmeg and Evil Nutmeg

[#216 :]

So you three killed naughty Nutmeg after all?

[#217 :]

Also congrats Xanfor!...

Don't forget futurefreak and ShepherdofShark as well.

We're all in ur subforum, moderating ur votes.

Congrats the lot of you, so do you take bribes now or what?...

[#218 :]

So you three killed naughty Nutmeg after all?

She was just a dream.

Also: I agree for making the votes hidden, but I think you should be allowed to change your vote. Is that even possible? Secret poll with the option to change which particular option you went with?

That way, I'd say that it's fair. And at the end of the 5th day, if there's a tie, a tie-breaker poll can then be opened.

I'd say it influences peoples decisions a lot more when they can see the person in the lead, but I know I've wanted to change my vote before, because I've picked at random and then remembered later something awesome that a different user did.

[#219 :]

I don't think that's actually possible, keeping the poll secret and allowing changes.

I'm actually three. You're talking to neutral Nutmeg just now. I bound and gagged Nice Nutmeg and Evil Nutmeg

It's always the quiet ones...

[#220 :]

So you three killed naughty Nutmeg after all?

She was just a dream.

Awww, she was fun



And afaik it is possible to make a blind poll where you can change your vote.

[#221 :]

edit: Confirmed, Bend-err is correct. Blind polls that let you change your vote are possible.

[#222 :]

Last poll I hope:

http://www.peelified.com/Futurama-Forum-18/Topic-20774-0-Q_Should_the_intermediate.html

If allowed, changing your vote is possible through removing your vote and voting again.

[#223 :]

Changing your vote seems like a pretty crappy way to run it. I mean, if it's a blind poll but several people have announced "I voted for [-mArc-]" and you voted for winna... you might decide to switch votes to [-mArc-] just so you're in with the majority. Because people are stupid and fickle like that. It's a partial subversion of the reasons for having a blind poll in the first place, IMO.

[#224 :]

I'd probably just make face accounts to vote for [-mArc-] in that scenario anyways.

[#225 :]

Could one decline being nominated for a month?

[#226 :]

I don't think we need a hard rule for every eventuality. Let's see about these things if they actually happen...

[#227 :]

Could one decline being nominated for a month?

No. If you're the best poster during a given month, that's entirely your fault and you can't shirk the responsibilities of your behavior.

[#228 :]

Really fantastic work [-mArc-], that poll organization made options so much easier. It seems that those who voted are in favor of a more traditionalist POTM style, which I like.

Also congrats Xanfor!...

Don't forget futurefreak and ShepherdofShark as well.

We're all in ur subforum, moderating ur votes.

Congrats the lot of you, so do you take bribes now or what?...

I never not accepted them...

[#229 :]

Could one decline being nominated for a month?

No.  You'll still be nominated, and then you'll get super banned and be unable to stop people from voting for you as well.

[#230 :]

So, how exactly will ties be handled now in nominations?

[#231 :]

I think we'll be taking the first 10 persons to get to the point of being elegible for the poll, and caressing them lovingly whilst we slap the shit out of the other candidates who weren't quite good enough. Then a mod makes the poll, and the lovingly caressed PEELers are thrown to the metaphorical lions of the public vote. Such a beautiful contrast. It's almost winna-esque.

[#232 :]

So, whoever gets the vote first will be in if it comes to a tie.

[#233 :]

We usually don't need to scrape to only one nomination, but essentially yes.

[#234 :]

And if we have a tie in the voting poll, do a runoff election for a couple of days.  Whoever makes the poll can edit it as well.

[#235 :]

Yes, I feel like we should try to figure out the tie procedure (both for nominations and voting) now rather than when it becomes an issue. So, to recap so I'm understanding correctly:

• Ties in nominations go to whomever received their last nomination first. (like old times)
• Ties in polls go to a run-off between the top two.

This correct? Was the idea of having a minimum amount of nominations to get into the poll scraped?

If you went back to 2006 and informed people that in five years I'd have the word "Moderator" written under my avatar, they'd probably tell you the same thing. :eek:

Can we go back to when I had that word under my avatar? Please? I've killed myself once, I'm willing to do it again!

[#236 :]

June begins tomorrow, when do we get to Nominate people for May?

[#237 :]

In June of course.

[#238 :]

I knew that, I mean when in June?

[#239 :]

Start of.
