Post by: Spriggan on November 30, 2006, 05:42:05 AM: Yes! I'm glad the pool is working, it's the perfect time of year for a swim.

Post by: Fellfrosch on November 30, 2006, 05:18:34 PM: I'm not even sure what that means, but I'm guessing you saw it somewhere cool, so we should totally do it. Then we could be cool too!

A pool?! Sweet. TWG is getting real high class now!

Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on November 30, 2006, 10:59:07 PM: so, is there a way to close the poll to stop people from voting?

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on December 01, 2006, 02:09:28 PM: I actually, sort of half came up with it. On Gaia you get gold for voting in a poll, so there are people who troll the forums looking for polls and voting but not posting a message. These people are known as poll whores. Some polls take this into account and have an option that says "I want gold" or something to the equivelant. The phrasing is one I came up with on my own.

Post by: MsFish on December 09, 2006, 07:47:02 AM: I still can't participate in the poll, and it makes me want to cry. >:(
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Chimera on December 09, 2006, 08:51:46 AM: Yeah, I haven't been able to participate in the poll on the front page either.

And I'm doubly offended that you had a pool party and didn't invite me.

Post by: Spriggan on December 09, 2006, 05:23:54 PM: Sorry peoples, finals weeks for me so not much time to work on TWG until sometime next week. You'll just have to suffer and vote via the forum which I know is so hard.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on December 09, 2006, 05:45:18 PM: Honestly? Not that hard. I find it to be rather easy actually.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: MsFish on December 09, 2006, 06:42:08 PM: That's not anonymous, unless I'm missing something. I can't handle the judgment.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on December 11, 2006, 02:18:35 PM: it's as anonymous as the front page poll.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Fellfrosch on December 11, 2006, 07:35:46 PM: So why is nobody voting on these? Is it because you have to do it through the forum? I want to start another one, but I want to make sure the issue is resolved first.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Spriggan on December 11, 2006, 09:57:07 PM: Well one of the reasons is guests can't vote in polls right now, so that lowers the total vote amount by quite a lot.

Post by: Fellfrosch on December 11, 2006, 10:35:05 PM: Aha, one more thing to change when you finish finals :)

Where do you do it on the forum? I tried to look without asking, because I didn't want to ask a stupid question, but I can't find it. If I knew where it was, I'd vote.

Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on December 12, 2006, 01:25:27 AM: It should be on the front page of the thread. At least thats where I remember seeing it. And I wouldn't worry about stupid questions Chimera.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Chimera on December 12, 2006, 03:07:46 AM: I thought we were talking about the poisoning one on the front page. You mean the "Yes, No, Preposterous!" poll?

Oh. If that's the case, then it worked the whole time. Sheesh. I guess I should get my polls straight.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Fellfrosch on December 12, 2006, 07:02:25 AM: The poll on the front page can be accessed through this forum in the thread "Poll 11/30/06," or something close to that. I'll use the poll title for the thread title next time.
Title: Re: Testing poll 2
Post by: Chimera on December 12, 2006, 07:05:43 AM: I think that would help people find it. See if it makes it so more people participate.

You do know that any admin can give guests rights to vote in polls right? I even gave steps on how you could do it if you want in the staff board.

Post by: Spriggan on December 19, 2006, 11:47:44 PM: Looks like guests can't vote in polls, ever, there's no option to allow them to do so.
