WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEAL WITH BLOCKING BALLOTS?


[+] serious ballot by jappy
ACTIVE May 11,2008 - Fri Feb 04, 11
Why was ballot 126625 blocked? It was a joke ballot, there was nothing wrong with the ballot at all, by my own standards it's extremely tame.

What is the deal with this, who is doing the damage and how do we get the person(s) responsible punished, as in, take away their ability to do these things?

The person doing this definitely needs to be demoted. 16

It's ridiculous, I'm pretty sure I know who likely did it, the same stupid bitch who has been fucking with my shit for like 3 years now on here. Doesn't matter if I go away for awhile or not, for some reason LCD refuses to do anything about her. I wonder if LCD can explain who blocked the ballot, if it was this person I think it was, and also what is going to be done about whoever did it.

I'm getting really sick of it too. All kinds of ballots are blocked - especially joke ballots, but meanwhile all kind of racist and anti-semitic ballots are allowed to stay. It isn't a superuser doing the wiping either... we can't. Its an ultra user. Who the hell is it? This is all getting f*cking ridiculous.

BTW, I'm willing to bet this ballot will anonymously get wiped too.

Here's another one of yours that got wiped too: DO U EVER EAT DONKEY TERDS B/C IT TURNS U ON
ballot number:92481

Yeah, sure, its childish potty humor but IT IS funny. The original has been completely wiped from the system - which happened sometime in the last 6 months.

I just went through a bunch of my old ballots and someone tried to wipe a TON of them, unless they just say that across the top by default. It looks like someone went wholesale through my ballot list and tried to wipe 90% of my ballots.

Whoever it is shouldn't only lose ultrauser status, they should be completely kicked off this site. God knows we have others who have been removed for less.

Well, I've messaged LCD about the issue, and asked for more information about who is doing this. I asked him to weigh in on whatever the hell is going on. I think he will.

Maybe this would at least get a reason why.

Ballots off my popular list shown as wiped:

88284 - Who embodies B&W drama queen?

Not sure why that was wiped, it was a private ballot, everything was done like it should have been...

Next up, 89259: A ballot asking how the Hamas will deal with other countries now that they are in charge of the palestinian authority.

This one makes no sense at all, I put it in as a joke ballot because of some of the choices, but there is nothing remotely against the rules.

I could go on and on. I seriously want to know who is doing this, why, and what is going to be done to both punish the people responsible and to ensure this will not happen again.

I've gone and done a little research, it appears it's not just my ballots, it might be a system error that is making a bunch of ballots appear as wiped? Only LCD can really answer this though. But the 126625 ballot, that's a different story.
by jappy on Sun May 11, 08 7:21pm [+]

Nope, strike last comment, I was wrong. It's someone who systematically went through and did it, because some ballots were left alone. Who the hell has the time to actually go and do that sort of nonsense?

The name of the person blocking these ballots should be shown. Someone had also wiped quite a few of my ballots and I don't think it was a system error, I think it's an unstable user at work here.
by RunsWithScissors on Sun May 11, 08 7:30pm [+]

Well I'm sure someone will once again blame me for it. :) LCD can tell you who did it, since he indicated once before that he knew who was doing it several months ago. But it still could be a problem with the system because I also noticed that expired ballots remain open for months after the close dates. Anyway, like I said, it is not me, but I'm sure someone will try to say it is. As always, anyone who wants to say that it is, you're wrong and you can feel free to ask LCD.

A couple of months ago, I froze a user and instead of freezing this user, it actually deleted this person's ballots. That's the extent of it. That user was subsequently epelled, but not by me by the way.
by patch22us on Sun May 11, 08 7:34pm [+]

Well, you aren't the person I had in mind, patch. I hope LCD offers people ultrauser power to fix their own ballots.
by jappy on Sun May 11, 08 7:41pm [+]

Thanks. That's a relief. :) I didn't think you meant me, but there was one person on here who used to acuse me of every misdeed imaginable. No matter what, this individual managed to drag my name into it, so I'm probably a little too sensitive on the issue. I'm pretty sure LCD can restore those ballots of yours, but I'm not certain of it.

Most of my favorites list was wiped too. Apparently this person has terrible taste in music to boot, and liked some of the songs I made fun of on the "most ridiculous lyrics" ballot, because that got wiped too.
by nuckinfutz on Sun May 11, 08 8:30pm [+]

It has to be some kind of system thing then. I can't imagine that someone would go to all that trouble. Maybe only favorite ballots listed somehow got wiped? Not sure.

LCD (Little Chinese Dude) has been on the rag for a couple of weeks now.

He blocked one my ballots that was no worse than some of the others posted. Never gave me a reason when I asked.

I think it's just a power thing with him. He just likes to use his power once in a while to reassure himself that he is still important and in control of things.

^ hahahahaa...Well thank you for your psycho assessment Dr. Phil
by Barbara_Baby_Cakes on Mon May 12, 08 2:37pm [+]

^^ I don't think so Patch. Many of the attacks seemed focused.
