It's been decided Arista, Smithy's grotto won, but then people carried on voting.

Surely the idea of such a vote is to have a deadline placed on it, otherwise it's not a vote - it's a 'select' group who have made the decision on their own - given that the votes are still taking place.

Pretty pointless in having the thread in the first place really - clearly it's not a vote then, it's a group making their own choice and not bothering about what all the 'voters' wanted.

Don't be rude Arista, I put a lot of effort into this thread

I think Arista was pointing out not the lack of effort in your part - but more that the thread has no real purpose in that what the thread is about: voting - it appears to now be a waste of time since it's been decided (???) but yet votes are still being cast.

It's a fair and reasonable point.

I would have picked Smithy's Grotto as well, but I didn't know it was a multi choice poll, so that means it would have 10 votes and thus be the winner.

Which does to a small degree, give weight to Arista's point a little.....

if you didnt realise it was multi choice, other's too may not have realised - and again, surely a vote should be a one only vote (imo) - not multiple choice.

Some people might be happy with more than one name, and a multi choice poll gives them the chance to show that

We would have more than one name for one thread?

How does that make sense?

I mean they might be happy if the thread was called, say, The Island or Smithy's Grotto, so would pick both of them

[MTVN]

It is settled then, I've added a vote on to Smithy's Grotto I wasn't sure how long the poll was meant to be kept open and with two options being tied for ages it was hard to close it but I have done now

Andif I voted for Kelis'.? or would that suddenly not count?

Oh ffs, why haven't you already voted if it's such a big deal to you, like I said I was waiting till there was a clear winner, there is one now; the polls closed.

[GypsyGoth]

If you like Pyramid you can make the poll for the next chat thread in three weeks or so.

Ah right...so the poll closes when you get your own way and mock the poll up to suit. Superb stuff.

In which case then, if there was the same amount of votes for each: how would you decide which one to use?

No, I'm quite happy asking questions here GG. I think I'm pretty able to make such suggestions should I feel the need.

I love the way the MTVN selectively added your vote in but wouldn't add in mine..... how utterly conveniently and incredibly fair.

[MTVN]

Pyramid, not once did you express any wish whatsoever to vote for Kelis' Milkshake Parlour until after GG had said their vote and I'd closed the poll

For God's Sake, obviously you don't even want a thread called Keli's Milkshake Parlour, you're just causing inconvenience and trouble for the sake of it

Maybe he thought you were just suggesting it to be awkward, that was my impression of it anyway.

Also you did say "And if" not that you wanted to, or that you didn't realise it was a multichoice vote, like me.

Yes, thank you!

and you aren't being awkward in accepting GG's vote but not my request.

LOL.

aye....

And I believe it was only when YOU put up your comment, that you jumped in and said "that's it settled then", and had to add it to the poll himself.

then refused to accept my vote minutes later!

You dont think that's being awkward.!!

See above.

What's the point of a multi vote for a thread name that will only have one name to it?

How can I explain this any simpler, the votes were tied for ages, GG came and said she wanted to vote for Smithy's Grotto as well, therefore we now had a winner, therefore the poll was closed

If you truly, genuinely, wanted Kelis' Milkshake Parlour then why on Earth didn't you express any desire to do so until after the poll was closed?
