ATKBBPS 2010 - ON HOLD - Update

[Isphera]

Moved both the overview thread and the open discussion thread to Community Chat. However, I am unable to add posts the Overview thread since I don't have any privs outside of the Polls sub-forum and it's locked (and needs to stay that way). Any possible work-around on this?

Bah. I think we should have the discussion & poll ideas threads in the "Community Chat" forum then you can just edit the first post to link to all the polls and info in your closed threads. I don't see any point at all in just linking to a closed thread on the home page. I've moved a few threads (including this one) accordingly.

I also think that we should never close the nomination threads and that they should be in "Community Chat". We'll just need to tell people not to suggest any more.

I've adjusted the Polls Homepage Box to show closed polls. It's interesting to see who won previous votes, even if you can't vote in them.

EDIT @ 15:24: made a couple of changes to my post

I've had a brain wave. With my domain and hosting, I might as well just create a seperate forum and run the Poll Series from there, only posting overviews and poll updates here. It prevents the spam and keeps people discussing stuff here.

Although it's an idea, everything I've set on on ATK now stops the spam and keeps the discussion. I did also put in time to creating that poll module, so I'd appreciate it if you actually used it .

There's also the factor of having to have accounts on 2 websites just to take part in the polls, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Nobody would vote if you did it like that, I think Chalex has sorted out a good way now anywho.
