Stephen Lewis Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think you should now add a no protest and will not attend option, to make it clear that all those who not attending are not all part of the boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sad state of affairs when we're arguing about what we can argue about. I simply wanted to give the poll some more balance and give people the "spoil the ballot papers" option. I'm sure the other moderators will discuss and take action if that is the majority view. 23 people have so far chosen that option, so I'm not alone in my opinion it should be added. Arguably you did it because you could .I think that shows bad judgement. The thread title was clear and inoffensive. Therefore did not need moderating.

cityexile Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 13 minutes ago, Cider_boy said: I don't get the problem, the poll still shows what the OP wanted - which method of protest those wanting to protest would prefer. As it happens I voted for one of those three options, not the one added by the mods. The alternative of setting up a second poll just seems a needless duplication. One other thing the poll doesn't tell us is how many would do 2 of the options. On other threads some have said they would protest outside the ground, then boycott the match. Likewise you can protest outside, then go in at 8. I think we need more polls. Hopefully lots will boycott, and those that don't feel that is an option for them will go in at 8. My position is a bit different. As I did a few times last season mid week, I can knock off work a little early. Spend 3 hours on the road. Watch the game, get home about midnight. Do it when I can. Just down with it all at the moment. I suppose it is too much effort to be depressed. Just needs something to raise a sense of excitement. Oddly, if LJ went tomorrow, I most likely would make the effort. Feel a bit guilty, as well, this is when 'real fans' get behind the team most but just being honest. Not a protest. Not a boycott. Just cannot be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a great admirer of your personal contribution to the club down the years, and I agree that in the scheme of thing it's a small matter, but this cuts to the heart of whose Forum this is. It surely can't be right that simply because one of the Moderators wants to "give a poll some more balance" they can change the questions...we now have a poll which allows people to say that they don't wish to make a protest. That's not what the OP intended. It was never about those who don't want to protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 It's one person, one vote. Adding additional options can't alter the vote in any way, and as I said this makes the options look fairer and will give a clearer snapshot. As it stands of 3 seconds ago 181 people have said they are going to alter their match going habit and make some sort of protest either by boycotting all together or another if the 2 options. So far 24 people have said they will attend as normal ( which by the way won't mean that as the match progresses these people may do something, boo, turn their back or walk out). Surely by adding this 4th option shows the strength of the other 3 options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone wanting to gauge the strength of feeling behind a protest could have asked that question themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe that any mod will publicly disagree with you and undo what you just did? If I created a poll on the best takeaway, but didn't add Thai food. Would you add it as an option because of a few comments? just admit you made the wrong call.

Red Exile Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I appreciate all the effort the Mods put in. But in however many years I've been on here under a couple of guises this does seem one of the more extraordinary editorial decisions. Changing the questions in a poll for no other reason than a Mod thought them incomplete oversteps a mark for me. I hope it will be discussed by the other Mods at length. The original question was "what would be your choice of action?". The revised poll effectively asks "should action be taken?" That's a completely different poll. Fine and dandy, perfectly legitimate, but not what the OP asked or what people had been voting on for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
