Can the Countdown Become a Disney Discussion

Post by zackiellovedisney »

Excuse me Luke you may or may not know I started a countdown voting on Disney Television Series. The thing I posted it in Disney Discussion but it was transferred to Polls and Games. I was initially fine with this but the thing is not enough people go on the Polls and Games thread so it isn't getting replies. I intended it to be a big deal like yours were but that isn't happening. I was wondering if it could be moved to the Disney Discussion because that is by far the most visited thread. Please I want to know if it can be moved.

It is a poll, so it belongs there in Polls & Games. I'd recommend putting a note and link in your signature so that people in Disney discussion threads might see it and wish to participate. While our official site countdowns have gone in Disney Discussion, this is not an official site countdown and I wouldn't want people mistaking it for one. Hope you can understand.

I don't agree. There have been a lot of polls in 'Disney Discussion'. Just a couple of months ago, there were 7 polls at the same time, each poll asking for the best DAC of a particular decade. There have also been multiple polls on Rapunzel and Princess and the Frog in 'Disney Discussion'.

So why were all those polls allowed in 'Disney Discussion', but was zackie's poll moved to a second-rate sub-forum?

They must have called for some discussion. As the Polls & Games description states, countdown voting does not. The quality of P & G is a reflection of the threads in it. In this case, the countdown thread should raise the quality and make more people interested to vote there. And a shadow was left in the move, so that people browsing Disney Discussion can choose to follow it.

The other possibility is just no one moved those threads that should have been. There is definitely not an excess of moderation occurring here, and that's partly due to deliberate design and partly there just not being many moderators who have time to catch everything.

Well, that's a good argument. Didn't think of that.

I see. Okay Thanks for telling me. But I was thinking that you could maybe consider making this thread an official countdown. It is just an idea but if you don't want to I understand.
