Guest Feedback Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Can we have a separate section in BW bulletin Board to segregrate common chat with those "surveys, polling, experiment question for schools..etc"? This will help prevent drowning out other more interesting topic and streamline the searching process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerunner Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Moderators should also study the possibility of not allowing Guest sign-in to start a poll and/or a new discussion thread. Pls pls PLS look into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkuTube Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thank You for the constructive suggestion. We will table this idea in our next meeting. Meanwhile, it would be good to hear more (the pros and cons) of having a dedicated folder for Polls.

HendryTan Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 1. Thanks to TS and Ikutube who subsequently brought this up for the mod's internal discussion. 2. For the polls, we have done the following:a. Turned off poll bumping.This means that FRESH vote cast in a poll will NOT bump the topic up.To bump the topic up, readers need to post something in that topic.b. With this change, all those "legacy" poll-topics will NOT regularly re-float up when newbies re-discover the old polls and cast fresh votes.c. We see whether this tweak will solve the Poll Irritation.Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some old polls just like old dead threads can be easily be float again. It looks neater, too. Just my 2cents.

HendryTan Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Wouldn't it be better if a separate section 'Polls' be created. Some old polls just like old dead threads can be easily be float again. It looks neater, too. Just my 2cents.a. We're actually trying to streamline the foum by having FEWER sub-forums.Having too many sub-forums can be over-whelming for new readers who first chance upon BW. They do not knowing where to start and just leave after a few clicks.I always like the Apple principle, Simplify. Less is More. As an aside, I have that problem when I visit HWZ - too many sub-forums, I didn't know the heart of HWZ until much later. .b. Sub-forums unless it has strong contents, usually do not garner enough eyeballs and interest dies down.We tried that with Pets/Plants sub-forum - Closed Down.c. As such, I like to see whether the tweak above solves the problem first.We will explore options like was suggested only if doesn't work as intended.Cheers !
