  Re: Polls as propaganda devices.
 
(...) It's there, it's under "Ivrit". (Of course I always found that funny - Todd likes to use the local names rather than English, but anyone able to read LUGNET probably knows how his/her country and language are spelled in English. ;-) ) BTW, the (...)

  Re: Meta-polling (was: Polls as propaganda devices.)
 
(...) I think the top two of the last three definitely could. Regarding the very last non-other choice, aren't there cases, though, where the question is phrased perfectly but the choices are biased? Or in those cases, is it always also the case (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: bug in polls?  [DAT]
 
(...) It really should have a better error message, but I think it's working correctly to the spirit behind what it wants to let you do, albeit poorly explained in the text above. It wants to let you use the same number in the case of ties -- for (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

Ranking polls say you can give two choices the same number, but reject such ballots. Frank (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Meta-polling (was: Polls as propaganda devices.)
 
(...) Definitely multiple answers may apply, I guess I wasn't clear enough on that point. (...) One worry is that too many choices are presented here. I wonder if the last three before "other" could be a single choice. (...) Are any choices other (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Meta-polling (was: Polls as propaganda devices.)
 
(...) Me too. I think it's a great idea. Meta-polling seems like useful feedback for the poll conductor and for the community in general. I'd like it to be multiple-select, though, since it's possible that one or reasons more apply. How does the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Polls as propaganda devices.
 
(...) Good point. The poll, however, doesn't say that LEGO has to do anything per se, just that there is or isn't a problem with the track geometry. I like your suggested mandatory/automatic addons. (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Polls as propaganda devices.
 
(...) Actually, I had a bit of trouble with this poll. The reason is that I am now not convinced LEGO should put resources into alternative track geometries. On the other hand, it would be real swift to have some new track geometries, so my personal (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Polls as propaganda devices.
 
(...) Well, you could include a standard quote at the bottom, similar to the one at on slashdot: (URL) Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks. * Feel free to suggest poll (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Polls as propaganda devices.
 
Let me preface this by saying that the polling mechanism just introduced, while it has some bumps (some of which have already been fixed, like the ability to keep a poll result anonymous, e.g. the CLSotW poll results are now anonymous so everyone go (...)

  Trouble loading ballots for some polls
 
I'm not sure where to post this problem report so I'll send it here. Hopefully this is close to the right place. :) Anyway, just a heads up that when trying to access the ballot pages for some (but not all polls) I get the following error message: (...)

FYI: I'm about to leave SC for MA, where my access to, and time for, LUGNET will be limited. I'll be back in exactly one week. You can still send concerns to admin@lugnet.com and one of us will help you. -Suz (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
