tbc: 'the banner contest' #79 - Get on our banner! | WINNER: The Compensator

[Milli]

I was thinking more what movie it is from. :p I feel like I know but I can't remember.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

 

[Andreas¹]

You even said so in your bleeping post and I've read it multiple times. :fp: Never mind me.

[Eudemon]

Sorry about the - normal - delay... :oook:, had a birthday to take care of more than was originally planned so took away the day from me essentially. On it now and thanks to Anders it should be fairly quick too! :D

[Eudemon]

POLL OPEN!

 

Don't forget if you entered and can vote* then you MUST vote, for your entry to be valid!

 

An excellent theme for this one and all entrants really stepped up and produced some awesome entries to fit with it.

 

*if you have less than 10 posts then you can still enter but will not be able to cast a vote

========================================

 

We have introduced a new feature whereby the votes will not be able to be seen until the Poll is closed -- staff and thread creators can see these results though. Also there is a new 'Unvote' option that has been implemented, so if you make a mistake or change your mind then you can remove your vote and cast it again. :)

Cool features Robin!

Some good shots this week, It was a tough choice between 6 pics, but I managed to get it down to 3 :hmmm:

I'll use my contacts in the administration to see the results :P

[CarMadMike]

Don't say that, he'll fire us all :leaves:

Need those names now thanks. :evil:

don't like the new system, retracting vote shouldn't be a thing.

Can't say that... It's a secret informer :P

Even though it's contest #79 we still have people saying they've accidentally voted for the wrong picture or that they didn't realise they got 3 votes. By allowing people to retract their vote it helps sort out the messy side of voting. And consequently, by hiding who is winning it means people aren't retracting their vote so that they then win themselves :nods:

I can see what you are saying but seeing as the results are hidden until the end it shouldn't make much difference really. I could understand it more if the results were public and so people could actually influence the way the vote was going. I do think about things before putting them on here and converse with the staff to get an opinion on what they think before going ahead to. :p

[Andreas¹]

I like it but I'm so curious as to how the vote is going. :p People make wrong votes sometimes, in fact just last competition and being able to change votes could just as well mean one more vote for you as it can one less. I don't see the problem.

 

You could start a new pool for people to bet money on who will win. :cheeky:

You talking about the US election? :cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

Myk can see the results though.... how much do we trust him? :p

[CarMadMike]

[Eudemon]

Not much to see anyway. :susp:

[Ryzza5]

Maybe it would be more fun if we could see the scores but not the usernames. The order would have to be randomised to avoid comparisons before voting and after.

[Eudemon]

That would still allow people to judge how their vote is working within the vote though. Keeping all of it hidden from view is proving to be a fun test to be honest.

[Andreas¹]

Is there no way now to see when the poll closes?

[Eudemon]

Hey mate, you only see the closing date if one has been set. Not when the poll is set to be closed manually. The closing date is typically updated on the original post though. :)
