The current approach has the nice advantage of allowing multiple positive selections. However I think that the number of participants will be greater if it is a "normal" poll Rata (unsure which way he likes more)	[reply]

Normal polls are only accessible one after the other and only for a limited timespan. But unfortunately my idea of only counting upvotes and allowing downvotes to be ignored doesn't work... I can't see upvotes seperately if the sum is positive 8( Cheers Rolf	[reply]

The squeeze operator. by BrowserUk (Patriarch) on Jan 12, 2010 at 16:17 UTC
Cos it squeezes a list into a scalar as demonstrated by this one-liner: `perl -e"$\|++;print(qq[\r( )]),select('','','',.1),print(qq[\r=()=]),s +elect('','','',0.2) while 1"` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "I'd rather go naked than blow up my ass"	[reply] [d/l]

... the Rolex Operator with 11 upvotes from 16 votes. ;) `6 (+11 -5) The "Rolex" operator` `3 (+11 -8) The Saturn operator` `-3 (+10 -13) The Goatse operator` `5 The squeeze operator.`š Cheers Rolf š) (approximately (+8 -3))š ,please note, not all downvotes are really counted, since the monastery limits the number of "significant downvotes" per day. So downvotes for propositions which are further down the list don't show anymore... UPDATE: no I don't consider this poll representative, but at least it allows multiple votes and dynamic adjustments/propositions, which is sometimes a nice alternative to the local standard polls.

I thought of "wristwatch", but liked "Rolex" for its similarity to "regex". Personally, I don't wear a watch. Nor did I vote.	[reply]
Re^3: =()= Poll: And the winner is ... by LanX (Saint) on Feb 01, 2010 at 01:16 UTC
Hmm wristwatch is somehow long and not handy. "Rolex" is easier, but what I don't like is advertising for a brand. Same problem with "Seiko" or "Swatch"... BTW: You can still vote. Cheers Rolf	[reply]

Can we consider this a preliminary election of candidates, and then do this all over again somehow, but with some sort of decent preferential voting method?	[reply]

LOL 8) > Can we consider this a preliminary election of candidates, and then do this all over again somehow, but with some sort of decent preferential voting method? ... can we consider that you to tell us how to do achieve this? Option 1: Realizing it with perlmonk accounts => restriction to available mechanisms. Option 2: Using external service with login => perlmonks have to register again, people get lost. Option 3: Using external service without login => multiple votes can manipulate the result. Option 4: user je44ery implements his wishes within the monastery... Cheers Rolf	[reply]

> oh oh ++ for u BrowserUK unfortunately it was a bad idea to tell people to downvote whenever they want. In BUK's case I can't see the upvotes ... and coming late reduces the number of downvotes. But for a beta this poll worked quite well because it's much more flexible than the usual approach.... Cheers Rolf	[reply]
