awiiya Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Just a poll to see what people think of the Council. It's similar to what you would see for many public figures. No bias from me - just asking out of curiosity. As an aside - if you would like to comment on the poll or why you voted as you did, make a separate board. This one should be opinion free so as not to influence the poll.

Maebius Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Pondering my vote, but hopefully this will be vaguely representative. If you agree/support Coubncil. I encourage you to also Vote this. Negativity is easier to say, it seems, online. Positivity is also vital to record. Balance, and all that. On a more serious note, I am quite curious to see the results of this once I sleep on the topic a bit. Thanks Awi! awiiya, DARK DEMON and Jester 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Last chance to vote. I'm going to do some analysis of the votes and post it somewhere. Awi EDIT: The votes continue to stream in, so I'm going to actually leave this for a week to allow any stragglers. I will compile my analysis next Friday.

DARK DEMON Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Just to point out, the analysis may not be accurate unless there is an alt check.[/color][/font] awiiya and Ackshan Bemunah 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I am going by the principle that there should be only one forum account per user. I'm not sure what Chewett does to enforce that (if anything). If Chewett or one of the other forum mods would like to perform an alt check, I would be very grateful. I don't have that kind of power (I have no idea who voted in this poll, I just started it). Thank you for the concern, but if Chewett refuses to do an alt check, I'll still go ahead and do the analysis. Awi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 To clarify, only admins are able to do "alt checks", moderators are unable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFH Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 to be totally sincere, with the results i'm seeing an alt check is stupid. Jubaris and awiiya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I would agree BFH. I'd be more wary if there was a seriously skewed picture - for instance 10 or 20 person lead in the results. Awi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted December 30, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 [quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1356906082' post='129299'] I would agree BFH. I'd be more wary if there was a seriously skewed picture - for instance 10 or 20 person lead in the results. Awi [/quote] Who says it isnt a seriously skewed picture? it might actually be massively in one or tother favour but the "massive skew" might make it neutral? Food for thought.

awiiya Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is possible too. Hmm. There's no way to know for sure without an alt check. What are your thoughts, Chewett? Awi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Since this is a subject of no material gain, I doubt anyone would operate significant number of alts to influence the vote (other than the Council itself to get a better image, but I doubt that too). Admins can check who specifically voted, right? If most of the voters are active older accounts, then we can safely (more than before) assume that it is a legit vote.

VertuHonagan Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I placed my vote, but I do not believe there would be alt abuse on something like this. The only areas I would think the alt abuse would be used are in competition polls or any poll that would result in the abuser making gain from it. I don't feel there is much gain to be made in abusing a poll like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
