December 12, 201212 yr Deny it you should . To me polls actually have the potential for greater relevance seeing as how they can potentially amass far more votes than any competition round can. The more votes there are, the more relevant the comparisson is to me. Some make the case that people change their minds which we see with competitions as people go from giving a ten to a six in just a few short months. With polls, you can only vote once anyway, so it makes no difference to me whether someone changes their mind or not. There's really no significant difference between the same person now thinking that Lindsay is prettier than Erin and a new person altogether thinking Lindsay is prettier than Erin anyway. The real issue is that some use them to PIP by saying the name of who they voted for in a thread that hasn't been posted in for several years opposed to joining in an actual discussion. In the end, it is called Babe Polls and was created for polls and competitions later came onto the scene so I don't see getting rid of polls only because they inconvenience some competitions. That's not to say I prefer one over the other. When I frequented, it was finding out a new name and the commentary of the voters that made it interresting rather than the format. What I will likely do though is create a subforum for one or the other. Either competitions will keep the main side because they're trending or polls its called Babe Polls. Maybe the one with the most threads or hits in the last year will get the main side, but whatever the arrangement, a member that likes one has just as much right to it and this should satisfy both sides.
December 13, 201212 yr Thx for the prompt response Joe The idea of creating another thread for all the competitions sounds like the perfect idea here Not only will it organize the forum a tad more, but make it easier to browse for the topics one is looking for.
January 3, 201312 yr Can we honestly PLEASE separate the polls and comps. That place is so cluttered, a fix would surely make this place much more navigable
January 7, 201312 yr I'll do it, I just forgot how . When I do though, I hope everyone is of the shared understanding that my polls are indeed mandatory .
January 8, 201312 yr http://www.bellazon.com/main/forum/25-general-babe-discussion/ Done. Just ask or PM me and things will get done
January 8, 201312 yr HELLS YES...thanks for listening to the idea I sent you via pm on behalf of many members here on BZ Can we now move all NONE POLLS into the comp section please?
January 8, 201312 yr If you make the subforum, I'll do the moving . Ironically, I was also going to ask you if a 'Who's Aged Worse, Britney or Lindsay' poll would get me fired, but I finally decided against it on my own .
January 8, 201312 yr Thank you maddog, great work Joe, are you able to move the comps to that section now?
January 8, 201312 yr I'm in the process of moving the comps now. Edit: And now the world is free to express how much they love the flavor of the year. Barbara verses the World
January 8, 201312 yr Can somebody tell me where the old competitions(not polls but competitions)have gone?Will they be deleted forever?
January 8, 201312 yr Is there really a reason to keep comps that are years old around? They do nothing but take up space and bandwidth.
January 9, 201312 yr Don't they still take up space even when staff members are the only ones that see them? Plus it seems to me that some who want to do several versions of a competition in the same thread might want to compare current trends to past trends. Of course, I myself would vote in favor of keeping the old comps because the comments were funny back then . At least its something I can get a quick laugh at if its a day when I have nothing but work here. I don't see a point in moving them to the comps side on the other hand if they haven't been replied to in two or more months though. If the started decides to pick them back up, they can come over though.
