' Wrote:Finally, I'll restate my point about statistics. Your 70% is not even the community's 70%, Dieter. I do not mean to be offensive, but by last two posts in this thread, which were obviously not really read or regarded by most of the community pretty much highlighted just that. Your 70% came from a skewed convenience survey that has extreme bias due to the fact that a large number of those who feel strongly about the issue submitted an answer.
If you want to conduct a survey to get results, conduct one correctly and then base your decisions off it. Otherwise, just make the decisions regardless. You are administrators.
Now, problem is, not everyone goes on the forum, as not everyone goes to election voting days... Those who haven't voted or anything... have not much to say. It is their responsibility to go on the boards, and see if there is anything concerning them. If they don't do so, and end up in a situation that doesn't meet their...expectations... it is their problem. Yes, admittedly, most polls are not 100% reliable.
It is like election, if you are too lazy to simply click yes or no, I don't even want to hear the person cry.
mainly to admins:
Although, it is nice to be able to vote yes or no to basic questions... but this just ends up on bragging about the problem itself, not the solutions to it. Polls should be more elaborated with multiple proposals that were considered logical and plausible. Not just use the yes/no and instate a solution to it by yourselves, without consulting community feedback with multiple ideas.
"Do you want a cookie my son?"
"Yes grand-mother"
"Alright, now go play outside. I don't want to mess the recipe"
"argh, but, alright then"
*1 hour later*
"Cookies are ready my son!"
"Great, but why did you choose chocolate chips instead of double chocolate? you could have let me to choose one or the other, no?"
