Why do you need 300 votes, if there were only 10 voters and 7 of them want the same thing, it is still a majority

Statistical significance.

If you want valid results from a poll you need as many votes as possible... and you can't change the poll halfway through voting!

I wasn't really changing the poll. indications were 30% majority with 40% second place So there must be a middle ground?

30% has a clear, vast majority, there can only be one majority

No I dont see, you cant count people that didnt vote, and what makes you think they would be different from the majority of people that did

I dont get it, The MAJORITY want 30%, end of, as far as I can see

but you opened the vote for 30 to 40 afterwards anyway?
so even if folks wanted something else they couldn't change their mind anyway?
you should have left it as it was or deleted it and started afresh, or even did another with just options of between 30 and 40, but then there would be too many polls and we don't want that again!
Folks had a choice between 30 and 40 and the majority chose 30 so that has to stand?
Ian

btw i voted 40 lol, hit the wrong one Grin

Jesus its hard getting through to you guys...lol
All I am saying is that on the original poll I couldn't do 1%-99% so the choices were limited! I realise the majority have voted for 30% and some have voted for 40% What do you vote for if you think the 1st place % should be 34%. Red Dog I am not saying I wont do 30% If thats what people want I will do it. If someone thought that"tex Morgans %" was right did they vote for 30% or 40%

Im fed up of this poll now, it was simple, the players voted

Now it's becoming a farce

I bet if you edit it again with a ' the winner gets his fingers chopped off, option, someone will vote for it

ok, change it to 2 votes then the peeps who voted for 40% will do so again and the peeps who wanted 35% but voted 30% cuz it was the only option then vote for that............now you have 2 votes for 40% against 1@30% and 1@35%. no contest 40% is the winner and it would be false anyway!!!

no, I'm getting as frustrated as RD with this. the conversation has come up numerous times before. most of us want 30% for 1st. 33% or 36% of 32.25% looks crap on the posters. straight 30% 20% 15% 10% etc is what MOST players want
