The Gopher Gathering
Poll Format Notes
This is mainly a request from Josh of things to consider when you suggest a new poll. When you post your idea for polls, it would be a bit easier for Josh if you could do three things:
FIRST:
Don't include numbering. Josh copies and pastes your polls, and has to go back and remove the numbers or letters before each choice.
YES:
Ian is:
Good.
Bad.
Okay.
NO:
Ian is:
A. Good.
B. Bad.
C. Okay.
NO:
Ian is:
1. Good.
2. Bad.
3. Okay.
SECOND:
Try to use proper grammar and punctuation. Josh is always going through and fixing this before he can post it.
YES:
Ian is:
Good.
Bad.
Okay.
NO:
ian is
hes good
hes bad
hes ok
THIRD:
Try to keep all the choices close to the same length. It's really bothersome when one option is three times longer than the others. Josh has to go through more work adding line breaks in the right spots to make sure it fits and rewriting. Otherwise it stretches out the entire poll and it looks bad.
YES:
Ian is:
Good.
Bad.
Okay.
NO:
Ian is:
Good.
Bad.
I think that sometimes he can be okay, but other times he's a putz.
Using these three suggestions would make adding new polls considerably easier for Josh in the future. Thank you for your cooperation.
