People make mistakes sometimes and as it seems there are also people who don't participate in a poll but still vote. I'm not talking about regulars. Is it possible to reserve the possibility to use that table to the person who conducts that poll? Currently two people have voted. One of them voted 4 times, the other one voted for his own entry. lol I mean, not that results really matter but still. how do you see who voted for what unless they post a comment telling what they voted for?  Well, so far only two people have voted. They mentioned that in the thread and I checked the table. One of them wrote only his first choice and I sent him a pm and asked him to specify. But I can't have an eye on that table constantly. That's why I'm trying to find a technical solution if there is one.

Sometimes they write what they want to vote for but forget to use the voting table etc. It is in the first place about sharing and discussing music, but then again the poll format doesn't make any sense, you see?

Kind of a low voting turnout so far, but I looked back and these are looking more normal.  Wondering if anyone would rather wait a bit, or not?  Are the polls kind of slowing down?  Just wondering what others think who have been here for a while.  

I rather feel like an interloper here as I haven't been involved in the polls for some time, but looking at it, yes it seems to be losing some steam, but I think the turnouts are still healthy. Having a smaller number lends itself to a little more intimacy and does make it easier to listen through.   I'd rather go see a band generally at a small bar than in a stadium, and I will listen through 45 or so minutes long albums more than 2 hour long ones.

The polls have been going on for a long time. It is nice, maybe, if some new blood does join and shakes things up a bit with maybe some rather different rules and fresh beats for the deadbeats.

For me, and this is just about me, I like consistency when it comes to the length of the polls, and scheduling (I have become more conservative in my middle-age in some ways). It is the antic...i...p...pation (Frank N Furter) of a new poll coming at a fairly expected time that excited me. And I wanted to see them keep rolling out regularly from people. At some point they extended from a week to two weeks, then to three weeks and variable duration. I did lose some interest when polls got prolonged and there were delays with new ones.

I thought before that we could have a new poll every week with overlap between the nomination process in one poll and the voting process in another, but maybe that would have burnt people out more. I do think it's fun to try new things, and be flexible and see that various people are trying new things and bringing new ideas to the table because (it's the communal aspect of this that I like, but also seeing the individuality of each take and theme from the members who make polls).

^ As I replied to your/Nickie's PM, I'll create my poll around the evening in Turkey, which should correspond to the afternoon in the USA.
