would you : political : WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ONLY COMMENT ON MORE RECENT BALLOTS?

[+] ballot by texsue57

It seems like any ballots that haven't been commented on for five or six days are pretty much forgotten except for the most provocative ones. Even if a ballot is routinely voted on for months after, it seems like no one hardly ever comments.

Why do you think that is?

Do you think this ballot will be completely forgotten in a week even if people vote on it after that time?

Yes
No

COMMENTS:
People like to browse and unfortunately lots of spam ballots obscure the good ones, so it becomes a chore to find a good one to comment on.

could be shuffled somehow?

Because anonymous voting is gone unless you comment and vote in two steps. I could have predicted this would happen.

Not sure thats why, Im not bothered to have my vote broadcast, what do people have to hide?

by Steelhamster on Mon Apr 17, 06 7:18pm [+]

It's because people know that no one looks at old ballots so they dont bother commenting or voting on them for that matter.

^that's what it is, no one not even the ballot maker in most cases bother to check those ballots that have left the first page, I figure why comment on something that very few if anyone will bother to read.

The only people who comment on old ballots are new or unregistered and don't 'get it'...

Thanks to today's hectic, hustle-bustle hurly-burly world, our collective attention spans are about seven and a quarter minutes. On good days.

in reply to gnomehunter.

this isn't some one up-someone ship is it?
are you one of those "i'm an old user so my shit don't stink?" sort of guy?
what the hell does new user vs old user have to do with whether or not someone's opinion is valid?
you're like the old man in his neighborhood -- "get outta my yard you young farts!"

the smaller your turf the more defensive you are of it.

When a user comments on a ballot, that shows up in the recenet ballots list, so that might engender some interest in it. LCD might do this--pick out one or two really old ballots each month for the users to vote on--for auld lang syne.

Voted : Yes
I wish it wasn't like that. I visit old ballots on the time and comment/vote on them.
