No that’s ok. I saw it last night and was too tired to think about it!

This tub was free from Ben, so it’s a perfect winner.

You should be able to go to his profile page, and there should be a ΓΈatrix link.

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:

  • we should wait until every member who wants to participate has voted (walden doesn’t mind this time, but I imagine it might be very disappointing if he indeed did want to vote); alternatively have a clear deadline to do so
  • we probably should have a rule in place what happens when someone doesn’t rank every soap. We had more than ever before this time, so I see how some people couldn’t be bothered - but I personally think they deserve at least some token vote points
  • likewise, we might need to limit nominations to one soap per member. As you said, there’s always next month to suggest another one.

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 ✌🏻

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 πŸ‘πŸ»
