not sure what you're talking about

No webform to my knowledge, people just email you with whatever they think is the correct format/whatever format.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link
yeah honestly most of the work is just getting everyone's ballots into a consistent format, correcting spelling/grammer errors to make everything consistent etc.

seandalai uses a webform for metal poll and the big poll. Frobisher wants to use that. So hopefully seandalai will see this
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link
A webform *would* be an excellent idea, though! xp
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:55 (eight years ago) link
if done properly people copy and paste nominations directly from the spreadsheet to voting form and that saves the hassle of correcting peoples mistakes.
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:58 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I had that with the epics poll, but I still got ballots where people typed in the entries.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:59 (eight years ago) link
you always get some dick who doesnt do it and just dumps a list they made for elsewhere, but you just ignore those - fuck them if they dont follow instructions imo.
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:59 (eight years ago) link
(you can see why i get someone else to help out with the forms side lol )
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link
That wouldn't have been very epic of me!
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:03 (eight years ago) link
Oh hey, sorry I'm not on ILX much as I used to be...Anyway, it's really easy to make a Google Form to log the ballots (go to Google Docs and select New->Form iirc), though you do have to create a new one each time.
The code I use for tabulating big polls is not particularly user-friendly (though I should put it up on github or somewhere anyway), I think the Excel spreadsheet is going to be be much easier to use. Happy to answer questions though.

I am really bad at math and don't know Excel at all but I had no trouble running the Elvis Costello poll using the spreadsheet.

Are Gukbe and Billy Dods around at the moment? Would be happy to get the Nirvana poll going but don't want to jump the queue.

If you wouldn't mind I would jump the queue

Nirvana poll pleez! So so stoked for that one

obviously everyone is eager for someone to jump the queue

Jump the queue! I'm still mired in life muck.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Friday, 23 October 2015 13:24 (eight years ago) link
Let's start a new poll. I'm sure the extreme metal one is absolutely dynamite but it is taking a long time and life is short.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 23 October 2015 13:52 (eight years ago) link
OK cool, I'll get the Nirvana one going.
