Yup. Because to state the obvious, those are the votes opposed to a hidden vote only. If it turns out that's the majority, it would be a travesty to ignore that.

Each of those categories stand on their own. Those who do not want to alternate have two other choices - All viewable or all hidden. Those who do not want any hidden have the choice of "all viewable", and those who do not want any viewable have the chose of "all hidden". There is a choice for every preference. All who really wanted "All viewable" should have voted for it, because, if I'm reading the comments correctly there would have been at least 3 additional votes for viewable and 3 less votes for alternate. Based on the current count, that means there would have been 8 votes for All viewable and 7 for "alternate". Edit: Of course if this poll had been hidden then no one would have tried to vote for the "most popular selection" and the outcome would have been closer to what the majority wants.

I don't care either way what it is outside of not really wanting it to switch every other month which is just a gigantic hassle for those running the contests. |

It's plain to see that very few want All Book Club Polls in 2012 should be Viewable, but it begins to look as if we'll need a run-off vote between All Book Club Polls in 2012 should be Hidden and Each month, we should alternate between Hidden and Viewable. I suspect that in a choice between those two, most would choose the latter.

Switching every month should be no problem. All I need to remember when setting up the poll is whether we're in an even or an odd month.

But to be serious, can anyone here honestly say that classic is an easily definable legitimate category no matter how much you may like or dislike it? And if it is definable, can you define it so it takes into account old classics, new classics and every classic in between? Because if nobody can actually define it, then it's not really a category.

I'm aware that it isn't possible with the forum's inbuilt polling. Would it be possible using some other website's polling system that can be embedded in the 1st post of the thread? I don't know if any online polling software offers that kind of voting software; is it worth looking in to? |

I think someone would have to custom write such.

We could have hidden vote, followed by a runoff vote of the top two choices. The runoff vote would mitigate the "wasted vote" problem. OTOH, adding a run-off might be a case of "making a mountain out of a molehill."

For the record "I did vote for 100% hidden"
Of the current choices I like that best. |

I'm going to close this poll and start another, to run for 5 days, with only two questions, which I think may reflect better on what people actually want: 1) Should the Book Club Polls always be Hidden? 2) Should the Book Club Polls alternate each month between Hidden and Viewable? |
