@divegeester saidBang-on not publicized.
Why are you preferring a poll from “some years ago” or a poll which “Russ” might perhaps want to do, when you have Moonbus’ bang on point, bang on current, bang on relevant, poll to refer to?
I never knew about the poll, and I keep track of this subject, as you well know.
@divegeester said"A little something in your next pay envelope."
Immediately “Un-alerted”.
Well done moderator 👍🏻
Isn't that the usual wording?
@moonbus saidTry it again, now that more than a couple people know about it.
Fewer people care about this issue than I expected (I did not cast a vote, btw). But those few appear to care a lot about it. It seems a curious issue to take issue with. Much less significant than, for example, the drumming out of Duchess a while back.
@divegeester saidClearly (only 8 people even knew about it), such a miniscule sample size requires confirmation.
Your post seems to be a strange mix of denial and whataboutism, rather than some acknowledgment of the poll result, which is what I would have expected from you.
@divegeester saidIs this the quality of your Inquisition-style aggressive posting we should look forward to then?
You really should have brought up your concerns with Moonbus at the time of the poll, rather than lamely bleating about improved process and marketing once the decision has gone against you. It makes you look small.
@divegeester saidIs this how you conduct yourself and your groups on this site? Is this your code?
However Moonbus seems a little reticent to comment at the moment, although he is content to signal to his in-group that he is observing proceedings by causally posting in other threads.
What makes you think others connive as you do? I see no evidence of what you say, except maybe from you. Is this how your people found out about the poll?
@divegeester saidWhy not have another, newer site poll then?
Why are you preferring a poll from “some years ago” or a poll which “Russ” might perhaps want to do, when you have Moonbus’ bang on point, bang on current, bang on relevant, poll to refer to?
You really thought you could stuff the ballot box on this one, didn't you? Well, that's precisely what happened.
@moonbus saidYes the last line. That there were many who had no idea the poll was on. That seems clear.
I don't dispute the result. More people voted for automatic outing than all other options together. Do the math: 63% of 8 votes is 5 people who voted for automatic outing. 13% of 8 is one; one person voted for optional outing. Two people voted to keep as is. No one voted for 'no strong opinion on the matter.'
@FMF wondered what would constitute a quorum, and I guessed that ...[text shortened]... wonder whether people knew about it and didn't care enough to vote, or did not know about it at all.
While people who were conducive to their side were probably promptly notified. What's interesting to note, is that among those they did notify, apparently not all of them voted their way. Perhaps the Inquisition this leads to may cause some to see reason.
If you had an election that was not publicized and no one showed up, would that be a consensus in any meaningful sense? Was there a Quorum, or anything close to it? Not at all.
