I'm really sorry about spamming all your friendslists this way, but here, have a third poll. Definitive, this time.

[Poll #1732200]

Weekend posts will be at the regular 4PM time, by the way - I don't think anyone was against that idea.

SURE SMELLS LIKE ENTITLEMENT ON THAT LAST POST.

Whatever you want
everyone who qqs about it should just go make some friends. it isn't like they totally miss out if they're late

The second poll already answered this. Right now, these are the results:

6-7 AM --> 273 votes
8-11 PM --> 248 votes

Why not adhere to that instead of posting a poll that people aren't gonna fucking bother with (since you clearly will just try to cheat your way out of it) -- or, y'know, gonna do their best to troll.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, now I'm convinced these fanbrats are trolling.

Get a life. Seriously.

You're discounting the 1000 people that don't mind when the post goes up, implying that they are giving the mod freedom to choose which timeslot they stand for.

It's not the same thing! The 8-11 timeslot is the one with the LEAST VOTES. The "don't care" votes aren't the same as voting for that, come on. This is called rigging, JSYK.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU BRINGING LOGIC INTO THIS DEBATE

[(Anonymous)]

They pretty much are the same thing as voting 8-11 if Case is saying that's the time that's convenient for him...

Maybe you should just get a life!

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't. Calm down.

[lovedforaday.livejournal.com]

Isn't this technophile's community? Who gives a fuck if he rigs the vote or not?

[(Anonymous)]

I figured 'don't care, do what's convenient' was saying 'if this is what's convenient, go ahead and do it, because you've got a real life and you're awesome for doing this'

[(Anonymous)]

If the majority of the people didn't care as long as it updated, I would probably just keep going with what was best for me.

It probably would have been better if the third option was 'I don't care, just keep updating when you usually do', but now that we have a two-option poll I think that will clear things up once and for all.

And really, what's the big deal about when it updates? You don't get to be the first person to comment on the secret?

[(Anonymous)]

You're pathetic, JSYK.

lol.

+2

[convault]

oh no! the world doesn't revolve around you! these results are not to your liking! people interpret it in a different way from you! the mod is clearly a biased douchebag!

it must be tough to live in a world where everyone thinks you're wrong ):

[oohasparklie.livejournal.com]

I can't believe people are being so picky about this. Go out and have lives, damn. And good on you, technophile for trying to be so accomodating, though clearly some don't deserve it.

[(Anonymous)]

Option three: I have no confidence in technophile and believe he should hand the comm over to a third party.

How can you trust someone that will just rephrase and re-poll until he gets the result he wants. You don't play agianst someone who blatantly rigs the game.

[cigarettelover.livejournal.com]

Well, the Europeans are screwed now lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, so 6-7 AM isn't convenient for you at all? Not to sound whiny, but why have the post, Case? If it was anything like the other polls, "I don't mind/Whatever's convenient!"'ll win again.

Not that I'm complaining (I'm in the "don't mind" camp, but I have a slight preference for 6-7 AM), it just seems... weird.

[(Anonymous)]

maybe we need an option for technophile to pass on the community to someone else then. It is a question of trust and character, if he is prepared to cheat on the public votes what is he prepared to do behind the scenes?

[omorka.livejournal.com]

. . . While nearly double the total of those two said "don't care, whenever."

It doesn't matter whether this is Straight Plurality, First Past the Post, Borda count, approval voting, or any other dang system - 6-7 am loses by every possible voting method as long as "whenever" is an option. Your only hope would be for 6-7 and 8-11 to be the only two options presented, without a "when it works for you" option, and even then the odds are pretty good you'd lose.

Your statistics, they are bad. Technophile doesn't need to cheat, he just needs the same people to vote again.

And what have we learned?

Next time real life is going to force fandom stuff to change to fit your own life, don't ask, just do, since no one will ever be happy.

I'm sorry you had to put up with all this shit... **hugs**
