First off, thanks for organising these every time. Your efforts have my utmost respect and none of what follows is meant to be a personal critique. It's all meant in good faith.
I have to issue a few minor complaints:
These are just minor issues, but I guess like every club we need to follow at least a bare minimum of rules. BVWSC has been really great so far and I find it charming how open and inviting our Lemmy community is.
Perhaps those are only personal issues though; I am of course open to discussion with other members and receptive for constructive feedback. Cheers & have a nice evening โ๐ป
Yeah, these are valid complaints.
Next time, I will announce before how much time ther is or voting, maybe something like 48 h?
Also, I'll check how different ways of counting votes interact with partial votes.
I will put up a thread for discussion soon.
Thanks!
I personally think 48 hours would be enough for everyone to make their choice in a timely manner.
Maybe something like 2 token points for every unranked soap would be okay. I think this wouldn't mess with the general voting consensus, of course depending on how many soaps are suggested.
That's a great idea with a discussion thread! I am sure we'd find a good consensus based on democratic decision making. Thanks again for coming up with the idea of BVWSC ๐๐ป
I'll launch it in a few days, so that we can have a new and better procedure for next time.
