Very odd poll.

So smilie codes count in the limit... So we could actually still have 1 smilie posts if you find one with a long enough code...

Aha! Those spaces are underscores!

I think it is unfair mods can bias the results. If a mod was irresponsible, they could totally skew results.

 

[Moss]

Yes, but if they did that, I'm sure TF or someone else would spot it, and that mod wouldn't be a mod anymore.

 

[nonconformist]

Well, that screenshot incriminates someone.......

 

[IglooDame]

Well, that screenshot incriminates someone.......

Yeah, but it skews the results in the correct direction.

On a joke poll it is acceptable...

Yes, and if this were a site that had irresponsible mods, I'd be worried. Suffice it to say that I'm not worried.

There is a thread in SF somewhere, one of the favorite mod polls, where Lefty edited the poll and added 999999 votes to the option 'Lefty is evil'

Did you actually go through site feedback page by page to find that?

Note: I realise you may have started on page 20 or something...

 

[ybbor]

i started on page 4, and using the google toolbar, highlighted the word "poll" on every page, if a thread looks like it might contain the edit, i checed it, if it didn't, i didn't

Nah, I'm betting on Lefty.

@yabbor: Yeah thats it!

Sorry TF, I could not resist fixing this poll, but then, I am so evil.

 

[ybbor]

it was actually kinda fun lookign back on past CFC, for instance, di you know our mascot's name is maximus fanaticus (sp?) and TF was mad about loosing his place as the top spammer err... person with the most postcount, he had a poll to determine what to do. the options were:

ban the top 3 posters [he was #4 at the time]
reset thier postcounts to 0
give yourself 99999 posts (i.e. infinity)
just post more
SPAM!
EDIT: found it, and edited the options it's here

if that thread was posted today it would be closed due to spam

 

[MarineCorps]

Damn I remember that thread! I have been through mos of the threads in this forum.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

Yes, but we tend not to due that.

I do it upon closing various troll, flame, or spam polls, usually something like the example. Such editing is automatically logged.

You must have a lot of spare time...

Sums up my position well.

We DON'T edit valid polls. That would be an irresponsible exercise of our power. If a mod were found biasing legitimate polls, they would find themselves drummed out of the corps....

Thats an understatement.
