I agree, this poll was very poorly organized, it should be done in ONE go, not in in three sections, this doesn't make a fair result, especially not since we can give up to three votes, and they have to made in three different groups, sorted alphabetically.Desert_Voyager wrote:Perhaps we ought to have another vote, as some people voted in more than one group, and for some unknown reason, most were not prepared to reveal which ONE photo they voted for of the three groups, and why.....
I quote Einstein's Barber, "But now it's YOU who decide! W H O did T H E picture?? We listed all the names of the participants here - just V O T E for ONE person (or the only couple, but NOT for yourselves!) and it would be nice if you could make a short comment on the ONE photo you have chosen. Don't forget to refer to the NUMBER of the photo or insert the pic into your message!"Pertou wrote:I agree, this poll was very poorly organized, it should be done in ONE go, not in in three sections, this doesn't make a fair result, especially not since we can give up to three votes, and they have to made in three different groups, sorted alphabetically.Desert_Voyager wrote:Perhaps we ought to have another vote, as some people voted in more than one group, and for some unknown reason, most were not prepared to reveal which ONE photo they voted for of the three groups, and why.....
If it's a forum software thing (I really believe it is) the options should be more limited
As for revealing people's choices, that's up to them, I can't see why you're so interested in that. The idea of the poll, is that you can be anonymous...
What I meant was that the idea of a poll, is that you can be anonymous... and I still think EB does a poorly run poll - if you can call it a poll.Desert_Voyager wrote:I quote Einstein's Barber, "But now it's YOU who decide!

So, as this poll was meant to be open, and not anonymous, I wanted to know if forum members were voting for the best photo, rather than their family or friends. I can't see why you would not be interested in which forum members voted for which photo, and why?
Strangely I didn't vote for the "best photo" but for the "best photo for the back of the DVD". It's a subtle difference. I think Andy's photo's are pretty damned good but because they are single figures rather than the whole band I didn't vote for them. I just feel it would be a little strange having a photo of just Bernhard on the back of the DVD. You could probably justify it if it was the photo of Edgar but I still feel it ought to be of the whole band.Desert_Voyager wrote:I wanted to know if forum members were voting for the best photo,
good reasoning.Chris Monk wrote:Strangely I didn't vote for the "best photo" but for the "best photo for the back of the DVD". It's a subtle difference.

....but that's just me.
I feel that there are pros and cons of knowing why people voted..... I feel the pros are stronger than the cons, seeing as the prizes are so good, and that there is room for bias in voting, so I am concerned that the best photo should win, as a result of a well run poll.Pertou wrote:What I meant was that the idea of a poll, is that you can be anonymous... and still think EB does a poorly run poll - if you can call it a poll.Desert_Voyager wrote:I quote Einstein's Barber, "But now it's YOU who decide!

Why I'm "not interested" in people telling what they voted for, is because I find it totally irrelevant in this context, because it seems to me, there will taken notice of the 'best comment' rather than what the majority thinks.
A poll should be simple, and there's to be only ONE vote per person!
And that's my opinion, feel free to have an opinion on it!
I agree on your opinion that its totally irrelivant,thats my opinionPertou wrote:What I meant was that the idea of a poll, is that you can be anonymous... and I still think EB does a poorly run poll - if you can call it a poll.Desert_Voyager wrote:I quote Einstein's Barber, "But now it's YOU who decide!
