I put the "Other" in there becuase I know, there are 3 categories that I would love to have a blind vote all the time, if possible: January: Wild Card, April: Humor & August: Free For All (any genre). Where as March: Nonfiction makes more sense as a viewable genre, to me. There might be other people who have similar ideas, so giving them that option allows us to discuss it, at least. Of course, it could just be me, in which case the other 3 options are fine. Last edited by Nyssa; 11-21-2011 at 05:13 PM. |

Hidden polls are the only truly fair type of polls we can have here. We've already had people saying they let their votes be swayed by the current results. So that basically means the winning book is not the book most people really wanted.

I'm going to take the suggestions we've had and start a poll. I'll be back.

The vote thread on whether we wish to continue with hidden polling or go back to the way things were has been posted as a (temporary) sticky.
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=158027 Yes, it's the hidden vote option. At the end of the polling period, you will be able to see who voted for what, but not before. |

If we were to go back, we'd be doing the book club a major disservice and getting winners that really are not what the majority wants.

I'm with Jon on this. I like the hidden vote.
