Title: No Snuffy
Post by: Lorric on August 31, 2014, 11:59:00 am
Is it even possible to not put Snuffy in a poll?

Every time I've seen someone not do it, they either get pressured into putting it in by others, or some mod comes along and adds it in whether they like it or not anyway.

My understanding is that it is an Internet ghost adding it :nervous:

It's an inside joke.  Just like the welcome beam and the flame throwers under the seats.

It is important to know the broader context here: Lorric wants to be able to make snuffyless polls so he can use HLP as a platform for amateur sociological research, and NGTM-1R has helpfully informed him that having snuffy on the polls makes them less credible as a source of data.

Well, there's an easy way to do that: just make it clear, to both posters and moderators, that Snuffy is not a desired option on the poll.

There should always be a snuffy. It serves the vitally important function of making sure nobody takes anything too seriously.

Alternately, play amateur sociologist somewhere else.

to be fair, the whole snuffy thing is dumb and incredibly unfunny, if people feel the need to say that they don't care then just don't vote in a poll at all

Indeed; HLP is undoubtedly a terrible places to try to collect meaningful data.

Especially when the polls that go up are usually the same ****ing ones that've been done time after time for the past fourteen years. :P
