Would you like a Controversy II?

[Shaun]

First of all, I'm not saying it'll happen. All it takes is the admin/mods disproval and it's out of the window. Plus I'll need time to organise it which, for the next week or so, I don't have.

However, with the main (and to my knowledge, only (public)) critic of the event uh... restrained... I was wondering whether TiBB would like another one. It's just that it seems even the majority of moderators are eager to see it, and I thought it was only fair to put it to a forum vote.

If you're not sure what it is, it's essentially an extremely-well-disguised polar opposite to the "most loved" contest, where you essentially vote for your least-liked, most-hated or most-controversial forum members. Votes are done anonymously and members are free to opt out of appearing in the rundown if they're feeling a little bit intimidated/victimised (which is totally fine by me).

I just think it's fun. The only problem with me hosting it is that very few people vote for me... I'd put that down to popularity but I think we're all agreed that's not the case :tongue: Anyway, I digress. Poll coming.

:amazed:

It's always good to be reminded of my flaws. :hugesmile:

[Mystic Mock]

I want it back,afterall I have to top something lol.

[GypsyGoth]

The reasons people give are hilarious, I'd love to see it happen :love:

[InOne]

Would be good, but don't dislike as many people as the last one, so would be a bit harder.

[Mystic Mock]

I think it would be harder aswell Inone,but I remember some peoples faces last year when they was high on the hate lol.

[InOne]

You voted me top if I remember right :idc:

[Mystic Mock]

You voted me top if I remember right :idc:

Yeah but trust me that would not be the case this time.:devil:

[Ninastar]

yeah but I wouldn't be voting

[Shaun]

I always loved Controversy/Most Hated, it's hilarious. The problem is that a few people won't take it in the spirit it's intended.

I'd support it's return, it's an oddly therapeutic contest. Plus I want to see if I can place higher then I did on Most Loved.

[Vicky.]

I think thats pretty much a given :idc:

:tongue:

[Tom4784]

I think thats pretty much a given :idc:

:tongue:

I never actually placed on the list until I became a mod, After I became a mod I just started attracting a lot of hatred from certain people. I wonder why.....

*leans against a bloodied banhammer while pondering the possibilities*

[Vicky.]

I remember being a bit pissed off with not making top 5 on most hated :laugh:

The comments I got more than made up for my low ish placing though :D

[Tom4784]

I wouldn't get as high as I did before I think, I've banned most of my would be voters :laugh:

[Jordan.]

Just do it, the admins wont even realise until the end of next April.

[Kerry]

Not fussed really. I found the last one funny and what was said about me :D

If you don't like it you can ignore it

But, I can see even this thread ending up in all out war, nevermind an actual countdown

[Callum]

Yes, I like reading all the reasons given for members.

[Lee.]

Yeah I'd like to see it again... although I'd have difficulty nominating. Why was the last one such a disaster? Who kicked off?

[Chuck]

Just do it, the admins wont even realise until the end of next April.

I would take part, although I can be sensitive to such stuff I will try not to be for this :D, it's meant in good spirit, and could be hilarious, so long as nobody is too vicious, lol. Can't believe someone told Vicky they hated her, rofl, how can you hate Vicky!! Anyway, I shall endeavour to read Controversy 1 (unless it was deleted) at some point, to see what it's all about properly.

[Black Dagger]

The last one was ace when I lurked 'This Is Big Brother not 'This Is Vicky'

Was my favourite quote of the whole thing. I'd love a 2nd.

[fruit_cake]

It would be exciting, but I voted no, I'd prefer to see some all inclusive events for everybody to take part rather than one that is not very welcoming or inclusive to new members.

[Niamh.]

It doesn't bother me but I don't think it will be allowed tbh Shaun

It was ha2

[Kate!]

It was ha2

thought so.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i just had a brainwave ah\

you can make a thread asking everybody who wants to be part of it to post, them compile a list from all those that have agreed to take part and we choose names from the list that makes even more sense than giving people the chance to opt out

[Kate!]

That's good Scott :) Would make it much less likely to be vicious hopefully and more good banter.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

oh im such a dick thats what this poll is actually for f/

[Niamh.]

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

it wasn't actually - I wasn't planning that idea :tongue: the only problem is with people who might want to vote for people not on the list... especially if the list is quite short.

[Niall]

I'd love to see it return! I'd probably place a lot higher than I did in Most Loved too so it'll be fun to sit and wait for my comments. :love:

Just do it, the admins wont even realise until the end of next April.


:laugh2:

[Niall]

Yeah I'd like to see it again... although I'd have difficulty nominating. Why was the last one such a disaster? Who kicked off?

If I remember rightly, a massive argument broke out between Thomas_C and the whole forum.

[Benjamin]

It would be exciting, but I voted no, I'd prefer to see some all inclusive events for everybody to take part rather than one that is not very welcoming or inclusive to new members.

That's what Pub Quiz, Mole 5 and ICB III are for. :tongue:

[Marc]

I think to make it work with little opposition people who do not wish to be involve to be allowed to opt out and it should be made very obvious that people can opt out and give them enough time to do so before voting starts

[MTVN]

It might be better to have an opt in system instead of an opt out one, otherwise people might feel obliged to take part

[MachoPoodle]

I've got no problem with it and might even consider being brave enough to opt in.

[Pyramid*]

It's a way of being able to say the most nasty, bitchy things about fellow fms.... and despite some saying, "Oh I loved seeing the comments made about me", I am not convinced of that for a second.

It's nothing more than a way around being incredibly insulting - and in getting away with doing so - whereas at any other time, people are infracted or banned for less.

If you want to go around joking about people have mental illnesses and all that - so be it - but funny enough, you aren't allowed to make threads on the same type of subject.

If anything - it probably is a cause of major disruption for the forum and many of it's members.

Sorry folks, but that's my tuppenies worth.

[saigon]

Sounds a laugh to me.

[saigon]

To strict on here anyway. Say the slightest little thing to some one and your banned.

On the contrary, it's very liberal.

Try DS, see how you get on there if you think it's strict here.
