[Vote] Forum Userbars Poll

[Chris]

As the previous poll for this ended in a tie (typical), we're going to do one final poll between the two most popular. This will be the LAST poll regarding the userbars so make your vote count. Any people who cheat will have their vote removed. Any people who try to influence the results by offering rep, vip or anything else in return will also have their vote removed.

I'm really not fussed about which one wins. I could have easily turned around and gone with Daves design but I've decided to do a second poll instead to let the community decide.

Didn't the first poll let the community decide though :P? When I read the other thread earlier I read that there'd be no more polls and that David's userbars had won because of multiple-voting for the old ones. But anyway, voted David's again :P.

[Martin]

Yeah that probably would have been the best idea :P but in terms of it being in feedback then there would be no choice.

That's what I thought.

What happened with the multiple voting then? Either that was disregarded, and the multiple vote counted - or someone multiple voted for option 3 and it tied again...

Basically management don't know what will affect polling data and what won't.

[Chris]

Theres a second poll for a reason but I'm not going to explain it all because it has nothing to do with anyone and will probably spark some form of argument.

[GoldenMerc]

Habbox is crashing down, Chris aint got time for you lot

You're entitled to your opinion but you don't know the situation.

[xxMATTGxx]

Another poll stinks of bad management - I've heard everything now. You should be happy that you are even being give the chance of voting in another poll. We could have just gone with the other one. We decided it would be best to give you another poll with these two results to declare a winner due to the situation that occurred.

[mrwoooooooo]

You're entitled to your opinion but you don't know the situation.

a situation regarding a poll on a fansite?

wow, serious stuff

[xxMATTGxx]

Then clearly you wouldn't care if there was 20 polls or not since it's just a fansite.

[Chris]

Then whats the problem?

[Kardan]

I'm glad that there's another poll to be honest, because if the original poll was tied, then this is the best way forward.

Of course, all of everyone's debating will be over nothing if the original design gets chosen :P

---------- Post added 24-01-2013 at 07:41 PM ----------

It's probably best they don't tell us what is going on, because everytime something goes wrong, the whole forum just moans at management :P

I'm still assuming that they discovered a multiple voter for David's option (or they discovered the multiple voter for the original option wasn't a multiple voter).

And it makes sense that management wouldn't tell us if either of those were true. If they discovered a multiple voter for David's option, we would have a go at management for originally only checking one option and not the other. If they discovered the multiple voter wasn't a multiple voter for the other option, we would have a go at management for making a mistake.

Either way, it's better this way :P

[mrwoooooooo]

Then clearly you wouldn't care if there was 20 polls or not since it's just a fansite.

no, I wouldn't. because it doesn't affect my life like it seems to affect everyone else's.

[xxMATTGxx]

So you are pretty much just posting in this thread just for the sake of it then really.

no... im wondering why the results are hidden again

They are hidden so it doesn't influence the vote. But that shouldn't matter to you as it's just a fansite and these polls don't affect you like they affect other people.

[mrwoooooooo]

how would it influence the vote? are you calling everyone on the forum sheep?

[xxMATTGxx]

Where did I call them sheep? It's like threads where people will +rep you if you vote for a certain option. It some what ruins the poll and people should choose the design they personally like - Not what anyone else thinks. Same applies with the results being shown while the poll is open - Plus, why do you need to know the results when it's open?

[Kardan]

Is there not a plug-in that means you can only view poll results after voting? That would be nice if one exists...

[FlyingJesus]

After this one can we have a poll about me being made AGM

When you said people would be influenced by the popular decision and not by their own opinion.

No it isn't

It's their vote, they can do what they want with it.

So you don't fix it :)

If you've got nothing to hide, why hide it etc etc

...

[Rachel]

Voted but its a secret :P

[xxMATTGxx]

...

So we don't fix it? But why would you care if we fixed it. Like you keep saying it's just a fansite! If we wanted to fix polls we could easily do that and go with the userbars management like. But no, we have another poll for you and others to take part in.

pretty sure i never said its just a fansite btw. but i did mention the word once :O

still pointless hiding the results imo :)

[Kardan]

I'm almost sure there's a plug-in which reveals the results of a hidden poll to everyone after the poll has closed... Why can't we have that one installed?

I'm not sure if this is the correct version or whatever, but this version allows you to keep the 'Hide forever' option that you guys love to use right now, and adds the 'Reveal results after close' option that we would all prefer...

We already have that installed - Results will be shown when the poll closes for sure.

of course, im always shocked to see how bothered people are about such small things. which management seem to enjoy having.
most good forums dont even have feedback forums, never mind them being one of the most posted in forums. They prefer people to post in other areas. anything to get stats up i suppose though

[Kardan]

So you guys have always had the option to reveal poll results at the end, but have never used it?

And does this mean that this poll will now show results at the end, or can that no longer be changed now that it's been set up?

no it reveals once the poll closes, you found the wrong thing :P

In this case, nobody was bothered about having new userbars until management decided to change them :P

Not always, it was brought back months ago. It can be used if the person who creates the poll wants it to happen. It can also be changed if the poll is already made.

[Kardan]

no it reveals once the poll closes, you found the wrong thing :P

I'm confused, how come the original poll didn't show results when the poll closed then? They're still hidden. This plug-in shows the results of the poll once it closes...

You had one like that on HHGS for HHGSBB I seem to remember...

I think you're getting confused. The poll can be made to always hide results when open and closed - It can also be made so results show when the poll closes. This setting can be changed if the poll has been posted already.

[Kardan]

Ahh, I see. So basically, as long as management know that in polls that decide outcomes, they should reveal the votes at the end :P And that's good, it means we'll see the results of this poll and nobody can go off about management fixing the result :P

That's what I thought it does :P But Ross is saying I found the wrong plugin, even though you said that's the one you use :P It doesn't matter anyways, it's all sorted :P

[GoldenMerc]

I think i custom coded the HHGS poll thingy for you, if I remember correctly. Never the less there is a mod that shows result once someones voted, e.g if kardan voted for option 1 before he voted he couldnt see, after he could. Although people would ruin it anyway and tell people :P

[Aiden]

People probably would ruin it if they could see it after they voted, but allowing people to see after the poll closes is perfect to be honest. Just a shame it wasn't used in the previous poll...
xxMATTGxx; If the option to show the results after closing can be edited, does that mean you could edit the setting after a poll has closed. So in other words, could you enable the previous poll so we can see the results?

So basically we can't ever trust polls, but then we can't trust management by themselves to make the correct decisions. A never ending loop of dissatisfaction :P We might as well take the poll option then, at least we feel involved with that method :P

We may as well all log out of the forum and never come back!

This is the makings of a George Orwell novel. The obvious solution is to make it public and show who voted for what whilst using a third party service so that those people can verify what they voted for.

[karter]

[Chris]

The poll has been closed early because there was no point in leaving it half an hour longer. The old design has won and will be replacing the current design sometime tomorrow. Prizes for the competition will also be sorted tomorrow.

[David]

good stuff can use my design elsewhere :¬:

You really think anyone is ever going to touch the user bars again? Graphics won't touch them or re-make them most likely and I don't blame them.

[lawrawrrr]

I bet everyone will hate the old ones when they get re-implemented. To be honest, I love the more modern looking text on these ones, and the square blocky font just isn't that appealing on the old ones...
