Yeah but I don't want people to say "Oh I voted" and not post anything. I just don't want members to get into the habit of thinking they can click a vote for every album and that's them done; it doesn't work that way. Also, you were the one who put the warning up on the original poll.

It can, but I'd like everyone to put just a little more work into saying what they thought than one mouse click. Think about it: when your album comes up would you be pissed off if there were three reviews and eleven votes?

Oh joy, that sounds like a lot of self hating fun. It's been dead since at least February though. February 2016.
Yeah, people soon got tired of listening to music they hated. Weird huh?

And is that really an issue that matters in the slightest? Those people won't get credit. It's that simple.

Yes, if they get into the habit of just voting and not writing anything. And again, I point out: you were the one who put the original warning up. But it's very early days for this album anyway, so no need to panic. The all-seeing eye of Trollheart is watching though....

People who fall into that habit get kicked off the list. Why does it need to be more complex than that?

This is a fair point and I'll adopt that idea. But the next poll will have usernames on it. Wish I'd thought of it for this one...

The soccer ball represents my retarded kid kicking the ball and running around at random analogy.

I thought you were American. No wonder you care about helping strangers.

I'm Irish. We believe a stranger is just a friend who has yet to buy you a drink.
