So in case I missed it, when will this be over? If I'm seeing things correctly, the voting should have ended at some point in November.

Loooooool in November it barely started, how could it end in November?

My dear Sceptical Chymist, according to icopress' OP,

Quote from: icopress on September 23, 2020, 05:46:25 PM

➥ From the moment of publication, and for 60 days, public voting will be open, in which any active user can take part.

The topic was posted on November 18th. It should not be mistakenly considered to be the same with Discussion topic, which is the topic were we are talking now

Discussion topic was created a bit earlier than voting thread, for letting people know that a new contest will be done, for agitating spirits and so on

But voting was initiated on November 18, therefore we are like a stone throw away from the moment when it will end.

Oh crap. Did I violate this rule? I was checking the OP to see when this contest was over with and the votes tallied when I stumbled across this--and no, I didn't read the rules at any time before this (oops). My apologies if I merited anyone who nominated me, and I'm just too damn lazy to check.

Like one of these candidates, The Skeptical Chymist - too difficult for me to write without copy and paste.

Yeah, I realize I made my username way more cumbersome for members to write out and *gah!* I apologize from the bottom of my charcoal-blackened heart. Just refer to me as TSC or Chymist and I think everyone will know who you mean. And if not, it's probably not important anyway. Lol.

Yeah, we've probably already got the simplest form of voting, so adding the requirement for including a link to the profile or worse the illegible userids, that's just a recipe for disaster, and will likely just end up invalidating a ton of votes or make the vote counting job a lot harder than it already is.

Whether or not incorrectly spelt usernames are included in the voting is up to the one counting the votes I suppose. It should be fairly easy to determine what they meant in most cases, but it could potentially be a can of worms in a few situations.

Looks like some people have nominated Lafu01, while I'm sure you wanted to nominate Lafu.
Most likely, there are some more nominations containing spelling mistakes...

If in doubt, please check BPIP by searching the name of your nominated members, if your spelling is correct to avoid any confusions.

Yeah, when the voting started, I saw someone voting for "Lafu01" and I have forgotten it since a while but recently, I browsed submissions of new voters and saw "Lafu01" again. As far as I've checked, "Lafu01" has been voted for 3 times. Cheesy

So, posing a hint for that, maybe these members nominating "Lafu01" will edit their comments and new voters will finally stop copy pasting existing comments and also stop including errors. Lips sealed

Quote from: imamusma on December 21, 2022, 12:22:35 PM

Copy and paste is fine, but I think they still need to open the profile of the candidate they want to vote for to avoid typos. Like one of these candidates, The Skeptical Chymist - too difficult for me to write without copy and paste.

Yes, if in question, looking up those names (we have plenty platforms for this like BPIP, DdmdDdmr's Merit Dashboard, or even some sites from LoyceV like his Trust List Viewer), should be easy. At least, it would require voters to put in some effort.

Craft Master, seems to suit him. As a campaign manager as well as someone who help the community with bitcoin lending services, that's why some people need to nominate them. I don't know her much more than that, but as one of participant in signature campaigns he's managed, I think you know her a lot better.

Quote from: Lafu on December 21, 2022, 11:49:25 AM

I have seen that now a few times and there are some Users have written " Lafu01 " instead of " Lafu " .
The first thing that was coming into my mined when i readed that is , that the Users that have voted with Lafu01 copied and pasted from other voters.
I guess thats the case for my name , because there is Username here on the Forum with the name Lafu01 .
Result of the " Search for members " : Sorry, no matches were found.

Some username are hard to write without looking at the profile for few times, sometimes that's why voters copy and paste from other users. But for "Lafu", I think even though they close their eyes they still seem to be able to write it, unless there is username change with combined. So if that's wrong, I don't think they know who they voted for.

Copy and paste is fine, but I think they still need to open the profile of the candidate they want to vote for to avoid typos. Like one of these candidates, The Skeptical Chymist - too difficult for me to write without copy and paste.

To me, sensible approach to voting should be a common sense by moderator.
Obvious spelling mistake should be handled automatically: “Fillippone” “Filippone” or “fillipone” have little doubt about voter intention.
“Lafu01” vs “Lafu” should be handled with a little bit more care, maybe tagging the original voter.

I agree with you, the problem is if there are two users with very similar names. A different character is enough to be another user.

But of course it all depends on the moderator doing the counting and your common sense.

Having the user ID and username can help minimize errors.

Could be cumbersome to do that, discouraging not really committed voters. Or maybe we want to discourage less motivated voters?

Voting via ID would also make counting votes extremely more difficult, I guess (I suspect it is done by hand).

I happen to think the opposite, mainly because the count should not be done by hand.

A number is always the same, so no matter who writes it, the result will always be the same.
Of course, the person can also make a mistake typing the number, but maybe more quickly users write someone's name from memory than their ID. Dai would have to copy-paste the ID for less failures.

But of course, it depends on how the information is collected.
