And to be clear, though I think it's an interesting idea, the reason I'm pushing a vote is equally because it's been brought up plenty enough in the last year, and to have it decided one way or the other will quash any recurring discussion of what the majority may or may not want, since we'd know. I'd be just as well having it lose in a stunning defeat if it were to do so, but at least we'd know. I think my original post on the subject was well-intentioned and well-explained. Also, I'm hesitant to start a thread for the general book club as I don't want to confuse any members not paying as close attention, as they may think it's for the literary book club. |

Does anyone else want a poll on tiered voting?

Have you considered doing hidden voting for the first round, and then taking the top several (three or four) books for the second round and doing visible voting then?
Instead of alternating, you would have both types every month, with the benefit of having the selection weeded down before the *persuasive* talks begin. Disclaimer: I don't participate in the book club, but I like to follow the discussions. |

Tiered voting tends to be a tech issue, not a preferences issue--it requires a different system of polling. It's also a lot more complicated to explain. (Another explanation, with food examples.)
I'm in favor of tiered voting; I'm not sure if we've got access to software that would allow it. It seems we might have to have totally public votes, with everyone listing their first, second, third etc. choices, and manually sorting the results. |

Elfwreck, that's not the type of tiered that we are talking about. All kinds have been discussed, but as you mentioned, most are not technically possible. Here's what we are talking about:

I would also like a system of two tier voting to be considered. To be fair a poll on this should be s simple yes or no to the idea of tiered voting, not “no tiered voting” versus a number of options for tiered voting. If most are favor the idea and WT Sharpe agrees then we could discuss how the tiered voting should work.

So here's my suggestion for a poll. Do there need to be any changes before I put it up?

Changing the poll question to Should we dump one classic month for YA in 2012? would make it a good poll.
