Oh cool. I didn't even have a chance to vote though!

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry - I didn't even check 😩

Ifyou want to go ahead and vote, please do so, and I will adjust the results, if necessary

[–] walden 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No that's ok. I saw it last night and was too tired to think about it!

This tub was free from Ben, so it's a perfect winner.

Next time, I should probably announce the deadline

You should be able to go to his profile page, and there should be a ΓΈatrix link.

[–] snooting 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, yes I see it now. Thanks. It wasn't showing up in my mobile client.

First off, thanks for organising these every time. Your efforts have my utmost respect and none of what follows is meant to be a personal critique. It's all meant in good faith.

I have to issue a few minor complaints:

  • we should wait until every member who wants to participate has voted (walden doesn't mind this time, but I imagine it might be very disappointing if he indeed did want to vote); alternatively have a clear deadline to do so
  • we probably should have a rule in place what happens when someone doesn't rank every soap. We had more than ever before this time, so I see how some people couldn't be bothered - but I personally think they deserve at least some token vote points
  • likewise, we might need to limit nominations to one soap per member. As you said, there's always next month to suggest another one.

These are just minor issues, but I guess like every club we need to follow at least a bare minimum of rules. BVWSC has been really great so far and I find it charming how open and inviting our Lemmy community is.

Perhaps those are only personal issues though; I am of course open to discussion with other members and receptive for constructive feedback. Cheers & have a nice evening ✌🏻

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, these are valid complaints.

Next time, I will announce before how much time ther is or voting, maybe something like 48 h?

Also, I'll check how different ways of counting votes interact with partial votes.

I will put up a thread for discussion soon.

[–] DaveWave94 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks!

I personally think 48 hours would be enough for everyone to make their choice in a timely manner.

Maybe something like 2 token points for every unranked soap would be okay. I think this wouldn't mess with the general voting consensus, of course depending on how many soaps are suggested.

That's a great idea with a discussion thread! I am sure we'd find a good consensus based on democratic decision making. Thanks again for coming up with the idea of BVWSC πŸ‘πŸ»

I'll launch it in a few days, so that we can have a new and better procedure for next time.
