Snarkpits 1st user made poll

In all fairness to the system,and the members, should post count totals add to the snarkmarks we have?

Yay

/rubs SM(s)

i know its early yet, but when you talley up the negative votes, they out number the "yeses"

i am surprised to say the least :eek:

"you must login to vote"

oh!
make a poll... cool ! :smile:

Well how is posting random s**t like that contributing? Post count should be for the pure enjoyment/likeness to talk and socialize.

A good thing to do would be to make posts in the editing forums and map forums apply but definitely not the General Banter!

:razz: im the first to vote for snarkmarks?

lol negative votes are "no"s- "meh"s are votes of indifference (which I'll read into meaning it's up to the boss again :biggrin: )

course its up to the boss, but do they really think this way where you live?

i mean. #1 is yes, #2,3 and 6 all are different ways of saying no, only #4 and 5 are indifferent..

i find it interesting to think that you (lep) have so many shades of grey.. i am a black/white person in my thinking, but i do recognize no answers when i see them.

scratches buttocks

very interesting indeed..

i realize there is only one kind of yes, but there are many levels of no, or at least.. thats how i was raised to believe.

my belief has always been, yes means yes, but anything short of yes, is no, so in other words go with the side of caution, and take any other answer besides yes, as no..

shakes head

never would have guessed.

Polls shouldn't just have Yes/No Answers, they could be usefull in the mapping forum for a user who wants to know which is the best thing to do e.g.

What type of lighting should I use in the vents of my map?

Entity
Text
Both

etc etc.

there are polls with no "Yes/No" answers of course matt, but these polls that has them would be boring if those were the only 2 choices, such as this one.. i only added 3-6 to fill in the page, i didn't care, nor think 3-6 had any relevance at all otherwise..

people who are indecisive, or disinterested only skew the results anyways.. questions that are "Yes/No" have no other pertinent outcomes..

say the indifferent won (hypothetically) then the results are skewed, because now lep needs to chose a result, be it "keep the system as is" in which case the "YESES" win, or lose the system, and the "NO;s" win..

as i said, only 1 and 2 are relevant.. 3-6... mean squat.

I couldn't give a monkies whetever or not they add to it. 3 and 6 are other ways of saying no and therefore matter.

did you just agree with me?

gasps

i think thats a calendar 1st

lol 3 and 6 are opinions on the nature of your poll, not on the matter you're bringing up! Only a charlatan would argue they are votes for a 'no'- otherwise they'd just click 'no'- and I spit on you and your ancestors :razz:

yay im the 13th to says yes!

now.. me being whom i am.. specifically an "accused negative personality" are you saying 3 and 6 refer to the poll? or their relevance to numbers 1 and 2?

it could be realistically read both ways you know.. as in "who cares about another dumb poll", or "who cares about snarkmarks."

also, i have met people who refuse to be pinned down to either a "yes" or "no" response, for whatever principal they are inclined to at the moment.. these people i have never understood, but know they exist.

either way, we are both right i guess, but i still find it an interesting concept..

may i ask, does everyone share your concept where you live? or is it just your own magnetic personality?

this is only intended as a discussion, not a debate on the pro's and con's of a poll... polls in themselves are not always reflective of an opinion cause, someone else may have chosen 4 different examples/choices for 3-6 had THEY posted this.

Orph, there are 3 possible answers- yes, no, not interested. I think most people would read your last 4 poll options to mean the 'not interested' option. If people meant 'yes', they'd have clicked 'yes', and same goes for the 'no' option- the rest just don't really give a toss either way, and yet again you're arguing with no legs to stand on :wink: The system is staying as it is for the time being.

since you are either incapable of discussing it, or unable cause i have failed once again to pose my responses in such a way as to make it either an interesting discussion, or have in fact struck a nerve of sorts, the topic just died..

someday i hope to have a discussion that doesn't involve politics or religion survive the second page :sad:

polls, are a way to incite responses in directions, not a decisive way to view stuff..

anyways, i give up, so ends the 1st user made poll.. hopefully the second one will fare better without me making it.

Just noticed a random bug...

Look at the actual poll post- there are no snarkmarks/member number/user online/offline on it.

Oh, and here was my understanding of the poll and it's options:

1 = Yes, I think they should be added.
2 = No, I don't think they should be added.
3 = It really doesn't make a difference to me either way.
4 = I don't know what a snarkmark is, so I can't make a decision either way.
5 = I can see the system benefiting/suffering from adding or removing it, but I don't know which would be best.
6 = This is a dumb question to ask, and I will put a mark here to be both clever, witty, and unhelpful all at the same time.

So they all have different meanings... and not all are negative...

you being more of a positive personality monkee, you would no doubt read it thus..

i can read them the same for the most part, but would substitute some of the words in 3,5 and 6 if asked.

it would be interesting, from a clearly clinical standpoint to actually see how we each interpret these 6 possible answers..

anyone up to it besides me and monkee?

for the record tho, i feel the poll is finished, and am not attempting to fish for why you voted the way you guys did, i still think you can answer and remain anonymous.

I said 3 as in "snarkmarks are pointless anyway". Since I view the site in condensed mode now, I don't see things like avatars or snarkmarks. For all I know you could all have large flashing banners that say "GREG SUX!" and horrible comments in your signatures, and nobody would be the wiser.

Uh oh.

more of that humor i so love to read.. thanx horn

I can't make a poll anway, so either its not working or has been taken offline atm.

most likely its a one at a time deal.. at least thats how i would set it up..

let this one run out.. i imagine lep has a reasonable time frame in mind

1/per 24hours or similar I would think.

what are you insinuating?

my take/interpretation of the responses.

1) yes - this site benefits with the current system.
2) no - snarkmarks should be a reward for contributions, not random posts.
3) who cares - the pit doesn't benefit from snarkmarks one way or the other.
4) snarkmarks? - what are snarkmarks?
5) undecided - never gave it any thought really, its just so unimportant that i don't care.
6) this poll sucks - if snarkmarks meant something, so would this poll.

I take orphs side on this new argument. 3- Not caring, shows that they don't really mind wether or not the snarkmarks count, and thus seeing as the poll is getting rid of snarkmarks they count more towards no. If the poll was saying we should have snarkmarks then thats a different question. Though I'd say that a "Don't care" is only worth bout 1/2 a no vote... but its definitely more negative than positive.

As usual I probably made no sense... :kitty:

i am away almost as much as i am here, due to my job, but some think i am here waaaay to often in spite of that fact.

i have been hatefully referred to as snarkpits "forum whore" ... of all the things i have endured, that is one of the hardest to deal with... tis why i try so hard to get the forum post counts hidden.. i do not plan on posting less often, but also think my time here should not be measured in total posts either.. i feel i have dedicated more to the snarkpit than a title like that warrants.
