Comment on [Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club Meta] Voting discussion
DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social 1 week ago
Thanks for the thread! Now to elaborate on my points so other members of BVWSC can weigh in:
- I completely agree with an 48 hour/2 day limit for both soap nomination and soap voting. Additionally, I’d propose a limit of one soap nomination per member. We’ll usually get more than 3, since we’re more than 3 members and usually at least 4 suggest a soap
- As for the voting process, we could do something akin to strongman sport: the first 3 places get 2 points and everyone else gets your ranked inverse voting - e.g., 10 soaps in total; 1st gets 10 points, 2nd 8 points, 3rd 6 points; 4th 5 pts, 5th 4 pts and so on.
- Everyone who only bothers to rate their top 3 - which should be mandatory IMHO, at least 3 votes or your vote doesn’t count - should be assumed to just give every other soap an amount of token points of 2 (1 could also work if we ever have fewer than 5 nominations)
Basically I am for a bare minimum amount of rules to ensure a smooth operation. We should also see it as somewhat of a gentlemen’s codex to remind everyone to vote in the 48 hour window. I truly enjoy BVWSC and it’s great to see that we could get a few new members introduced; let’s make sure everyone can enjoy it equally! ✌🏻

I think your point 2 is essentially what we’re doing. Borda voting.
other than that, I fully agree, 48h, minimal rules, don’t be a dick rule, and having fun should be the priorities 👍

Yup, I think it’s not such a bad system - this variation only puts more emphasis on the first 3/podium placements. However, I also fully support the application @walden@sub.wetshaving.social linked; even though I hold the same doubts as you (e.g. no requirements to log in/post your vote under a username), but the less work for @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social , the better IMHO 👍🏻 It would also declutter the voting thread since we don’t need to do our votes as single line comments anymore.
Agreed, everyone having fun should be/is the ultimate goal. We just need a few rules that are necessary, but overall this is a group event , not a challenge or competition. Comparatively, BVWSC is kinda like a book club for shaving soap and I really enjoy it this way 😄

There’s a setting to disable anonymous voting.
DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social 1 week ago
Then it’s perfect IMO 👍🏻

A book club was exactly what inspired this 😊

It’s a really chill & nice idea. Truly cool and good.
