Figures. Now that #5 is in the lead, it's not a real election.
Farcical.

Do you mean it's only an opinion poll?Figures. Now that #5 is in the lead, it's not a real election.

More or less. Supposedly it'll determine what to do in the NEXT ROUND of voting.Do you mean it's only an opinion poll?
Ah...oh well. I guess this was good practice for the real thing then.More or less. Supposedly it'll determine what to do in the NEXT ROUND of voting.
At this point is it any wonder that we're all skeptical about this system and its ability to be fair?Why am I not surprised.
Well to be fair some of us are past being skeptical and just waiting for them to drive us off the board.At this point is it any wonder that we're all skeptical about this system and its ability to be fair?

Lisa exactly what is the approach being taken to tally all the votes .... Please explain it to meHello nyj,
Do you think it would be possible to stop misrepresenting me here? The first two posts in the thread explain EVERYTHING. I didn't change the rules once #5 was in the lead. I also know for a fact that you KNOW that isn't true.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop questioning my integrity. Every single concern by every single poster has been addressed. I have done everything that I know how to make it as fair as possible. I have even asked two times if we should stop the poll and go back to wiki to figure out how to make the poll the most fair. In both cases, the overwhelming majority wanted to continue.
So, why are you doing this to me, brother? What do you have against me? Do you think that you should perhaps go to PM with me and tell me exactly why you are so vehemently and so aggressively attempting to undermine my reputation? Or you can do it publicly. I have nothing to hide. I would like a chance to work on whatever offense you seem to think that I have done to you or to this forum.

gotta love me ....... LOLGood grief.
This has been pointed out before, but I'll do it again.In both cases, the overwhelming majority wanted to continue.
This has been pointed out before, but I'll do it again.
The overwhelming majority represents maybe, tops, 50 people or so. We're a site of, on a daily basis, over a 1000 regular posters.
So don't talk to me about "majorities", and especially not "overwhelming majorities" either. Maybe the people in that thread, but they represent a very small, and sometimes very loud set of CF members.
The OP makes no mention of the exact foundation of the guidelines for the poll. It lists the options. The second post is "kinda sorta" specific. You don't define what would be considered a "clear consensus" in that 2nd post. Is it a 5% separation between the 1st and 2nd vote getters? Is it a 10% separation? 15%? 20%?
And then later on in the thread, you admit to "winging it". Given the potential impact of this entire process, "winging it" is a Bad Idea.
Since you didn't properly define the process, even a 25% separation could leave open the possibility of people who hate option #5 screaming for a recount. Which essentially disenfranchises a whole lot of people. Those people basically being the conservative element of this site. Or what is left of it.
Like I said, herd of turtles.
Something is wrong, i voted on choice 5 while the poll was still open and i dont see my vote there now?????????
PLEASE>I have no idea, but the poll is now closed. We are back in wiki trying to elect a committee to come up with a better plan of action and insure the integrity of the next poll. Do you need a link to the wiki?
