What do you want to happen to "fast threads"?

Well, your argument is false really. Yes, Orange probably wouldn't be voted as most favourite if you looked into the stats, but if you are asked 'Which out of these options would you like' NOT 'Which fruit is your favourite', then Orange does win.

In this poll we were asked which of these choices would we like to happen, we were not asked 'Would you like them moved or not'.

Plus, you are only considering the multiple choice votes within the last option aren't you? 41 people picked the last and winning option, but you say only 29 of those people solely picked that option?

Then how many people solely picked the other options? I know I picked option 2, so that definitely doesn't have 34 unique votes, and I would be surprised if any of the other options have 29+ unique votes beating the winning option. (And the fact is, we don't even need to look at unique votes, if we did, the poll wouldn't have been set up for multiple choice).

Plus, looking at unique votes is pointless, since everyone who voted multiple options may have had preferences that wouldn't be taken into account. I voted for Option 2 and 5, but would prefer 5 over 2. You can't tell everyone's preferences in the poll.

TL;DR - Poll is done. It's clear who the winner is. People that are debating it really are just wanting their option to win (Although I'm sure you were an option 5 voter, I'll have to read through the thread again )

Sorry, Kardan but I thought you were more intelligent than this lol. The poll was fundamentally flawed (on reflection). Let's put it this way, if you ask a question with ONE option to keep them as they are or FOUR options to have them moved elsewhere, then everyone who wants them to stay as they are only has ONE choice, whereas the others have FOUR choices, meaning those votes will be more spread out.

Honestly I have lost interest in if they are moved or not, but it is ridiculous to pull the wool over your eyes when basic statistics shows that keeping them as they are is not the most popular option.

That would be true except for one important thing, the poll was multiple choice. If someone's priority was "I want them moved from where they are now" they would tick the 4 options that would do that. We've been over this so many times now

I wanted them moved from where they are now, but ticked the options I deemed most suitable? As I said before it should be a "move" "don't move" question.

It may be multiple choice, but not all of us looked at it in that way..

Well whose fault is that? Certainly not the poll creator It was perfectly clear that it was multiple choice...

And it wasn't a 'Don't move/Move' poll, and why should it be? Why not a 'Post count enable/disabled' poll?

Basically, people are questioning the poll after the results are released (and not before!) and the people complaining are people that didn't pick the winning option...

If the results were not hidden during the poll and people suggested one was winning when it technically wasn't I would have pointed out the flaw.

Check my response to Chris in spam - that makes it nice and simple to work out.

If you give people four options for yes and one option no, then statistically the no option will appear the most popular.

In a single choice poll, that could very well be the case. In a multiple choice poll, people would go 'Well, I say yes, so I'll have all the yes options'...

Third time lucky though, the poll question was not 'Do you want these threads moved'

... but four of the answers were effectively yes and one was no..

It is ridiculous to ask people what they want to happen to them and then say well they had to vote all the yes options whether they wanted it or not.

For example, I didn't want them to be banned altogether - that would be ridiculous, and I therefore didn't vote for it..

There isn't four 'yes' options, as you can't answer 'yes' to 'What do you want to happen to these threads'.

And you need to realise, we were not asked 'Do you want these threads to be moved' anywhere, so stop getting so hung up about that

You felt like they had to be moved to a new sub-forum, so you ticked all the options that applied to you.

If someone felt like moving the threads to anywhere but where they were currently, they would have ticked the options that applied to them (1,2,3,4).

I would have them banned or moved to spam before I kept them as they are - but I chose the options that would be preferential lol

AT the end of the day, there were four yes options - as in, four options that asked for them to be changed from what they are now - 62 people voted for them to NOT stay the same, 41 asked for them to stay the same lol

In 2005, only 35% of the country voted for Blair to be Prime Minister. 65% didn't. What do we do there?
