New Kinship Raid days

[Kairos]

Following a poll of signed-up raiders, the new kinship raid days will be Mondays and Thursdays. The first raid on Barad Guldur is scheduled for Thursday, 4 March. A new poll has been posted to determine the final start time (or times - if the vote is close to split, we may alternate them) between 6.00 and 7.00 pm UK time.

What happened to the poll? I can't find it anymore.

According to Raiders Thread

[Nalorin]

No, I don't think that is the one. There was one after that which only had starting times, not raid nights in it. 

[Thoronthor]

thats the one.

[Kairos]

The voting was virtually equally divided between the three options, so we went with the middle one. Also, not many people bothered to vote, which was another good reason for staying with the existing time of 7.00 pm.

[Nalorin]

Nay, I am quite sure we had two polls. I know because someone (Kairos?) created a second one as there evidently was some interest in earlier start times. That poll, however, was lacking the latest starting time from the first poll (which I believe was the one Tazetta was referring to). It was added later after Teo and I pointed it out so that poll I mean should have three starting times in it. Where is that poll?

Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing this up, Kairos.

Let's just say it doesn't feel … too good when a poll suddenly disappears. And no, I am not implying anything, I am merely asking that polls should be archived and I suggest that a final statement after the closing of a poll is made in order to inform people about its outcome. And, as in this case, clarify officer-decisions based on the data the poll yielded.

Afaik everyone can keep seeing the poll after it's closed. You just can't vote anymore. We have a policy of basically never deleting anything on the forum unless a. It's just notifications that are moved in another post (like the bank-thread or the radiance-thread) or b. it's spam. Sometimes stuff gets archived, but that's really old stuff (like the class forums) and remains available to the forum officer, kinship leader and deputy. As for the poll you're referring to: it's right here on this forum, just got a bit swamped by the events.

[Nalorin]

Thanks for the link, Ingaras. Of course I was looking for it myself, but even the search I did wouldn't bring it back (granted, I looked for starting time).

All in good order.

Problem solved, but thank you for speaking up about it, Nal. Grumbles and concerns should always be voiced, and you did it in such a civilised manner, too. Thank you.
