TBH, 65 is probably more than the number of active regular posters over the past week, so in that sense it is representative. As in real life, if people don't vote, then they can't really grumble about the result of an election. After all, would you be happy if fewer than 50 per cent of the populatilon voted for a change of government, but because the unsung majority didn't express a preference, the government remained the same?
ETA: That said, polls regarding the site itself used to be time specific, whereas the new one is vague. This issue of moving avatars doesn't really register on my flying-fartometer, though, so I have no real views on the poll. |

Wording is equally important. A poll should simply say " If you object to moving Avatars Vote here " those that don't care need not even vote, which is the fairest way I feel. Otherwise we give an over credence to those that do object.
The way it is at the moment, it seems like if you complain, then you get your way, cos no one else is really bothered. |

Well i wasn't going to say anything, yesterday lunch time I was fuming, but the wife told me not to say anything, but I read more of this, this morning and well.....
The poll did not even last 24 hours and It was on a Sunday!! how many people post on a Sunday? So the "Mods" think this is OK? who made the decision.
Only 47 people voted on Sally's new poll so it was not 65!
What Has DS become? I feel let down and disappointed, I really thought this was a fair, site, but now I don't feel this way at all.
I like Mr O don't give a s**t, either way, but just make it fair, for god sake, this has been done very, I'm whats the word?
Also who do you complain to? is there some one who is not a Mod, who is impartial? no thought not, it stinks!!!!! |
