    Thanks.

    It's of little use if it corrupts the vote results.
    The database could have required an update too, if it would expect max ten entries. But such seems not the case, as the field to store the data is of type text and not a limited int.

    Strange that it displays the entries in a different way as I typed them. Did this happen to any other polls before?

    Konnichiwa,

    Another thing that might be useful for polls like these: Secret Voting.

    The staff (currently only I through SQL), can lift the display of results. When the voting is over the results will become visible.

    Both public and secret voting can be exciting. Please let me know what kind of voting you'ld like for the Best Screenshot Award, any poll can be made either secret or public.

    As long as you can cast your vote only once, secret or open voting makes no difference to me personally. Maybe we should do a poll on it. Heh.

    Both things are possible now, I'm indifferent about what should be used: both seem to have merits. Just let me know if a secret one is wanted for a particular poll, so the toggle in the database can be switched.

    Konnichiwa,

    It's not up to me to decide about this: it's a competition created and run by the patrons. I only offer some support if needed. The poll will be a public one by default, but can now also be made secret during the voting if that seems fun. The decision to do so should come from the competition organisation and/or contenders. Polling about these polls like Brutal DLX suggests might be an idea

    I think it would be good to see how secret voting works in a competition type environment, we could use it as a trial before the HoF awards come arround soon

    Is the poll up yet (15 Dec), I don't seem to see it anywhere.

    On a different question. Would participants be allowed to vote ? I would think NO, but don't mind very much eigther way.

    P.S.
    Checking: I voted M (again) but dont see the result. Perhaps someone who can should check that there are now moer than one vote for M.

    Is it even possible to bar certain people from the voting? I think the only way it would work is a note included with the polls asking participants to void their votes (I shall be voiding my votes) and not participate in the voting for categories they have entries in. Outside of the categories people have entires in they can vote freely. Anyway the choice is nothing to do with me - I am just a participant with the uncanny ability to pin and close the polls

    Qucik thought: If everyone who has an entry in the competition were to void their vote would there be enough people left to actually vote for a set of winners? The Mead Hall isn't exactly King's Cross station in terms of business Perhaps just a request for people to not vote for their own entry (as if anyone would ) with the option for squeemish people like myself to void their votes if they want would be better?

    Good point, Froggy.
    I would think that participants could be trusted with not simply voting their own picture (well, we will see that if we get all entries with 1 vote each at the end of the poll ). But I think your idea of putting in a void option for the 100% politically correct is probably the way to go.

    If there are more than 4-5 pictures in any one category, perhaps a 2 tier voting scheme is needed. The first vote narrows the field down to the top 3-4 vote getters and then have a final vote on that much smaller field. My thinking is that a large field of entries will spread out the vote too much and we'll have a winner with only 3 votes.

    Just a thought.

    Konnichiwa,

    The Entrance Hall has a fairly high turnover. It seems easier to have the voting in this forum and do more advertizing: (pinned) topics in other forums, mainpage, extra link/button next to current search/members/help button.

    I don't know about you guys, but I won't be around here at the .org, and if I'm not the only one that has real life matters, then the voting will surely suffer...

    Probably true.
    I myself will be offline for most days between Christmas and New Year (and some days beyond). But no reason why we should not have the polls in January, a good start for 2004

    Catch up, must catch up on all the stuff I have been trying to do for days

    January is HOF I think, or at least the beginnings of it. It was January last year as far as I can gather. Shouldn't be a problem though, should it? Its not like people have a poll tolerance limit Why just look at the tavern for proof
