We're going to try something new this week, and if it goes over well, it'll be the way we sort from now on. If it goes smoothly, it should help the voting mod ([livejournal.com profile] margalite) to count up the points for each house in a way that's a bit easier, as well as helping out the prefects and co-prefects of each house in trying to figure out their top sorters. It's important that you guys pay close attention and follow the directions, or it won't work!

What's going to happen is this: When Margo puts up an application, she's going to add four comments immediately. DO NOT VOTE UNTIL SHE HAS ADDED THIS COMMENTS. They will be as follows:

Gryffindor Votes.
Hufflepuff Votes.
Ravenclaw Votes.
Slytherin Votes.

If you are a member of Gryffindor, you will reply to the comment that says 'Gryffindor Votes', Puffs to the 'Hufflepuff votes', etc. I'll do an example of this in the comments here so you can see what we mean. Yes, the votes will collapse, but it will be fine, as all the prefect or voting mod will need to do is click on the 'view thread' link to see all of the votes listed there. The important thing is that people need to reply ONLY to the comment made by Margo under the [livejournal.com profile] votingmod, and not to one another. Make sense? If you aren't sure exactly, have a look in the comments and you'll see how it will work.

Prefects, please pass this info on to your housemates and/or link them to this post. We're really hoping this will make things easier for all of us!




Also, remember these things when voting:
1. Always sign with your name and house or your vote will not count.
2. Using either a sigtag OR an icon to show your house pride gives your house an extra point. So, if you vote and sign with your name and house, you get one point. Using a house pride icon or sigtag as well means you get two points per vote.
3. Do not reply to anyone else's votes , and if the applicant replies to you, do not reply back. The voting mod will remind the applicant that they aren't supposed to be having conversations within the votes.

This question was raised a few days ago re: sorting. Do No Votes count as actual votes, or do only house/muggle votes count?

Date: 2006-09-09 08:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] margalite.livejournal.com
Yes- but then if you change your vote when they expand their app, then the new vote counts. As in- you don't get points for both votes.

Ahhhh, thanks for clearing that up :)

Can we also put our votes in the subject line of our comments, or would that just make life too easy for me?

How about having it so the comments read "[name of house] vote here" and then comments underneath read: "[name of house] voting [house we're voting into]". So if I wanted to vote someone into Hufflepuff I'd comment under Slytherin votes with "Slytherin voting Hufflepuff". I've seen it done that way before and it seems to be quite sensible.

well- what we're doing now is having all the votes from one house in one comment. It would probably be easier maybe that way- but I still need to count sigtags and whatnot. Maybe we'll do this for a while, and then slowly ease into a "making things even easier for Margo" phase. I don't know. We don't even know if this is going to work out :)

itll work -- unless someone doesnt know how to reply to comments and just replies to the post.

and whatever you make your subject line as, everyone elses will be the same [unless they change it' and itll say RE: whatever you put here, so that might be even easier for you.

right- the main problem that I can see happening is that people will not have read this post and they'll see the threads and think that they should comment in, say the Gryffindor thread if they want to VOTE Gryffindor- not if they're actually in it. Hopefully they'll vote the same as always, and we can get that straightened out.

as for the subject lines- I was just going to expand the threads for each of my comments and read all of the votes. My thing about the subject lines was that people could put their VOTES in the subject lines to save me the extra clickage. :)

(I am devistated that no one has commented on my voting god icon yet. Oh, well)

you know, i saw it but i didnt read the bottom of the icon.

you could just bold if 'you are in' gryffindor until people clue in or something.
